(will mark brainliest ) Which of the following best describes the expression 5(x + 2)? (5 points)
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The only one of these possible answers that could be correct is the fourth one:

The product of a constant factor 5 and a 2-term factor x + 2.  That '5' in front of (x+2) multiplies (x+2), and so the result is a product.

Mr. frankel bought 7 tickets to a puppet show and spent $24. he bought a combination of child tickets for $2 each and adult tick
nydimaria [60]
Let x be the number of child tickets he bought
Let y be the number of adult tickers he bought

① x+y=7 (child tickets+adult ticket=7 tickets in total)
② 2x+4y=24 (price of child tickets+price of adult tickets=$24 in total)

We may simply the second equation since all of the coefficients are divisible by 2.

① x+y=7
② x+2y=12

We can now use elimination by multiplying the second equation by -1.

② -(x+2y=12)
② -x-2y=-12

① x+y=7
② -x-2y=-12

Now putting the equations together,
-y=-5
y=5
x=2

Therefore he bought 2 child tickets and 5 adult tickets

A telescope contains both a parabolic mirror and a hyperbolic mirror. They share focus ​, which is 46feet above the vertex of th
uranmaximum [27]

the center is at the origin of a coordinate system and the foci are on the y-axis, then the foci are symmetric about the origin.

The hyperbola focus F1 is 46 feet above the vertex of the parabola and the hyperbola focus F2 is 6 ft above the parabola's vertex. Then the distance F1F2 is 46-6=40 ft.

In terms of hyperbola, F1F2=2c, c=20.

The vertex of the hyperba is 2 ft below focus F1, then in terms of hyperbola c-a=2 and a=c-2=18 ft.

Use formula c^2=a^2+b^2c

=a

+b

to find b:

\begin{gathered} (20)^2=(18)^2+b^2,\\ b^2=400-324=76 \end{gathered}

(20)

=(18)

+b

The branches of hyperbola go in y-direction, so the equation of hyperbola is

\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}- \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}=1

Substitute a and b:

=1 .
