First of all you need to expand this expression. you do this by multiplying the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets. this is the first one ;   3 x 2a = 6a, 3 x 5 = 15. the extra + sign in the first brackets stays between the two terms, so the first set of brackets is now 6a + 15. now we have to look at the second ; 5 x a = 5a, 5 x 2 = 10, like the extra + sign, the extra - sign stays between the two terms as well, so the second bracket is now 5a-10. you put them together to get  6a + 15 + 5a - 10.

next you need to simplify the expression. first you need to group like terms,        e.g. the numbers and the letters.   <u>6a</u> + <em>15 </em><u>+5a</u> <em>-</em><em>10.</em> the 6a + 5a = <em><u>11a</u></em> and the 15 - 10 = <u><em>+</em></u><em><u>5</u></em>. you then put these two terms together to get your final answer of <em><u>
</u></em>

<u><em>11a + 5</em></u>

Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Given that,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)~ \text{and}~ \text{slope,}~ m  = -\dfrac 32\\ \\\text{Equation of line,}~\\\\~~~~~~~y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y  -4 =-\dfrac 32(x+2)\\\\\implies y-4 =-\dfrac 32x - 3\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac 32x -3 +4\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac 32x +1

Jeremy likes to paint. he estimates the number of paintings he completes using the function p of w equals one third times w plus
arlik [135]

composite function J[P(W)=J(1/3w+4) represent paintings Jeremy completes in a year .

this equation means number of paintings= weeks(rate)

The function P takes a number of weeks as an argument and returns the number of paintings.

The function J takes some argument (unspecified) and returns a number of weeks per year.

The composite function that will give the number of paintings per year will be P(weeks per year) = P(J(y)).  

P(J(y)) = 1/3·J(y) +4 .

Looking at the units of the input and output of each of the functions is called "units analysis."

What is 2 1//2 divided by 5/12?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

2 1/2 divided by 5/12 is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction which is 5/2. You then flip 5/12 into 12/5 because when you're doing fraction division, you always flip the divisor to it's reciprocal. You then multiply 5/2 x 12/5. You then get 60/10 which can be simplified to 6. Hope this helps!
