The equivalent equation after applying distributive property will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)

Further explanation:

Distributive property states that the number is distributed to the sum or difference it is being multiplied to i.e.

a(b+c) = a*b + a*c

So the given equation is:

2(x - 5) = 56 + 6(x - 5)

2 will be distributed to x-5 and 6 will be distributed to x-5

The equivalent equation will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)\\Simplifying\\2x-10 = 56+6x-30\\2x-6x = 56-30+10\\-4x = 36\\x=-9

If f(x) = -9x +9 and g(x)+squroot x+1, what is (f degree sign g) 24
Leno4ka [110]
(f ° g) (x) means the composition of the two functions in this order f (g (x) )

So, given f(x) = - 9x + 9 and g(x) = √(x + 1),  you must do this:

f(g(x)) = - 9 [ g(x) ] + 9 = - 9 [√(x+1) ] + 9 => f(g(24) = - 9 √(24 + 1) + 9 = - 9√25 + 9 =

= -9(5) + 9 = -45 + 9 = - 36

Answer: - 36
