Simplify 2(5x – 4) + 3x

To simplify, you must distribute the 2 into the 5x and -4 by multiplying 2 with 5x and 2 with -4.

<span>2(5x – 4) + 3x

2 x 5x = 10x

2 x -4 = -8

You will get 10x - 8 + 3x

Now you must combine like terms or add like terms. In this case we must add 10x and 3x

10x + 3x = 13x

Finally the answer would be 13x - 8</span>

= 10x-8+3x (multiply 2 with (5x-4))
=13x-8 (then add 10x+3x will give you 13x)

Answer should be 13x-8

Hope this helps!

The night watchman in a factory cannot guard both the safe in back and the cash register in front. The safe contains $6000, whil

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The guard should be positioned at the safe

Step-by-step explanation:

The night watchmen should be positioned to guard whichever place gives the highest expected value to the thief.

The expected value of robbing the safe is:

$EV_{s} = \$ 6000*0.2\\EV_{s} = \$ 1200$

The expected value of robbing the cash register is:

$EV_{r} = \$ 1000*0.8\\EV_{r} = \$ 800$

Therefore, the guard should be positioned at the safe since it yields a higher expected value to the thief in case he tries to rob it.

almond37 [142]

Answer: £23,360

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use algebra to solve this.

Assume that the original investment is x.

In the beginning of 2015 the balance had increased by 2.5% which is denoted as:

= 1.025x

Carol then withdrew a thousand:

= 1.025x - 1,000

This value then increased by 2.5% again by the beginning of 2016:

= 1.025 * (1.025x - 1,000)

Relevant expression therefore is:

1.025 *(1.025x - 1,000) = 23,517.60

1.025x - 1,000 = 23,517.60/1.025

1.025x = ‭22,944‬ + 1,000

x = 23,944/1.025

x = £23,360
