Use the distributive property to find an expression that is equivalent to 2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)

Given expression:

     2x(x + 7)-(3x +1);

To distribute implies to spread a process equally in an expression. Often times, the distributive property is used for expressions inside parentheses;

  2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)  

  Distribute 2x over the first parentheses;

   the negative sign distributes over the second part

    = (2x² + 14x)  - 3x -1

    = 2x² + 14x -3x -1

    Add like terms;

    = 2x² + 11x -1

This expression  2x² + 11x -1 is equal to the given one

You make punch for a party. The ratio og ginger ale to fruit juice is 8 cups to 3 cups. You decide to add 4 more cups of ginger
Dvinal [7]
To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3                /:8
x=\frac{12*3}{8}
x=<u />\frac{36}{8}  \\ x=4.5
To not change ratio we have to have 4.5 cups of fruilt juice. We initialy had 3, so we have to add 1.5 cup of fruit juice.

Which expression is equivalent to (x^2 -8) - (-2x^2+4)?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

D) 3x^2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.

We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.

Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":

Step 1: Distributing the negative

Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.

Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate

Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.

Thus,

x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___

*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.

Evaluating for the answer, we get,

x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12

Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.
