Answer:

(B)-16+40

Step-by-step explanation: -8(2x-5)

-8*2=-16

-8*-5=40(positive because a negative multiplied by a negative is postive)

add the x to the answers...Then its -16x+40

Hope This Helps:)

Find the value of X and Y in the following parallelogram.AD =X+8 D=2y +13 C=16-x CB=5y+4 AB=o​
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = X + 8 ∠D = 2y +13 ∠C = 16 - x CB = 5y+4

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary and opposite sides are equal.

Therefore for parallelogram ABCD, AB = CD, CB = AD

Since AD = CB (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal):

x + 8 = 5y + 4

5y - x = 8 - 4

5y - x = 4             (1)

∠C + ∠D= 180° (consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary). Therefore:

16 - x + 2y + 13 = 180

2y - x + 29 = 180

2y - x = 180 -29

2y - x = 151             (2)

To find x and y, subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

3y = -147

y = -49

Put y = -49 in equation 2

2(-49) - x = 151

x = -98 - 151

x = -249

Find the reciprocal of the expression. 10b/2b + 8
Alexus [3.1K]
Comment
I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as 
10b/(2b + 8) 

If that is the case the reciprocal is

(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did. 

Put the numerator in  the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.

You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.

1/5 + 4/5b 
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in

Latex.\frac{2b + 8}{10b} =  \frac{2b}{10b} +  \frac{8}{10b} =  \frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{5b} =  \frac{1}{5} +  \frac{4}{5b}

Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2 

The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.

The answer
I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.

Juan wants to make a new game board that is a grid containing 25 equally sized squares. How many squares should be shaded to cre
pickupchik [31]

Let the number of shaded square be x. And it is given that total number of squares are 25.

probability = \frac{shaded \ squares}{total \ squares}

Substituting the values

0.2 = \frac{x}{25}

Performing cross multiplication

0.2*25=x \\ x = 5

So 5 squares should be shaded to create a region with a geometric probability of 0.2 .
