A. -(a+5)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(a+5) * -1 = a+5
B. -(-x+31)
Apply the distributive property:
-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)
multiply that by -1 to get -x+31
C. -(4x+12)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12

Answer:
The amount of gold used in a 200 g 14 gold bracelet is 116 g.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a 14 karat jewell is stated to have aproximally 58 % of it's weigh in gold we need to take the total weigh of the jewel in question and find that percentage of it's weigh. In order to find that percentage we'll first convert that number into a decimal, we do that by dividing it by 100, so we have 58% = 58/100 = 0.58 we can multiply this value by the weigh of the jewel to find the amount of gold used. So we have:
gold used = total weigh*0.58 = 200*0.58 = 116 g
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Once again we want to use the relationship stated earlier
Where A * B = C * D
Once again imagine that the segments in the given problem have letters
A = x
B = 12
C = x + 1
D = 9
Now we create an equation using the relationship
12 * x = 9(x+1)
now we solve using basic algebra
step 1 distribute the 9 to the x and the 1
9 * x = 9x
9 * 1 = 9
now we have 12x = 9x + 9
step 2 subtract 9x from each side
12x - 9x = 3x
9x - 9x cancels out
now we have 3x = 9
step 3 divide each side by 3
3x/3=x
9/3=3
we're left with x = 3
