Pretend there is an invisible -1 in front of the parenthesis to distribute, then get rid of the parenthesis, then you can combine like terms.
= 5a - 1(8-a) +4a - 10       
         ^-----^                      <-- negative (-) times (x) a negative (-) equals positive = (+)
= 5a - 8 + a +4a - 10        
     ^---------^----^               <--Combine like terms      
= 5a +a +4a = 10a
= -8 -10       = -18
= 10a -18

Hope this helps!

Find to numbers, A &amp; B,whose Products, A x B, is less than the sum, A + B. Can you find to positive numbers?
NeTakaya

Answer:

any number, n, multiplied by 1 is less than n + 1, so A = 1, B = any number

For example, 1 % 7. 1 * 7 = 7. 1 + 7 = 8

Also, having one of the variables be a decimal can make the numbers smaller.

For example, 28 * 0.5 = 14. 28 + 0.5 = 28.5

A tank currently holds 5 gallons of water. It is being filled at the rate of 1/4 gallon per minute. How long will it take for th
Verdich [7]
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.

If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.

4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.

This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7)?
Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

What system shows the correct numbers to multiply by the coefficients in order to eliminate y from the first two
Ann [662]

Answer:

3 (5x+2y = 0)

2 (2x – 3y = -19)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y=0 (1)

2x-3y=-19 (2)

To eliminate y from the first two equation when applying the linear combination method

We will multiply y Equation (1) and (2) with 3 and 2 respectively so that the coefficients of y in the two equations +6 and -6 respectively

3(5x+2y=0)

2(2x-3y=-19)

We have,

15x+6y=0 (3)

4x-6y= -38 (4)

Add Equation (3) and (4)

19x=-38

x= -2

Substitute x= -2 into (1)

5x+2y=0

5(-2)+2y=0

-10+2y=0

-10= -2y

y=-10/-2

=5

y=5, x=-2
