<h3>(2x - 4) - (6x + 6) = -2( 2x + 5 )</h3>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication and Division
  4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

Let us tackle the problem!

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = 2x - 4 - 6x - 6 ⇒ open parenthesis

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = 2x - 6x - 4 - 6 ⇒ rearrange term

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = (2 - 6)x - 10 ⇒ factorize

(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = -4x - 10

\large {\boxed {(2x - 4) - (6x +6) = -2( 2x + 5 ) } }

<h2>Another Example :</h2>

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2x - 4 + 6x + 6 ⇒ open parenthesis

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2x + 6x - 4 + 6 ⇒ rearrange term

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = (2 + 6)x + 2 ⇒ factorize

(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 8x + 2

\large {\boxed {(2x - 4) + (6x +6) = 2( 4x + 1 ) } }

Help I can't find the correct equation for this transformation
Paraphin [41]

The correct equation for this transformation is given as (x, y) ⇒ (x - 9, -(y + 2))

<h3>What is a transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are <em>reflection, translation, rotation and dilation.</em>

Translation is the movement of a point either<em> up, down, left or right</em> on the coordinate plane.

The graph of √(5x - x²) was translated 9 units left and 2 units up, then reflected over the x axis to get the new graph.

The correct equation for this transformation is given as (x, y) ⇒ (x - 9, -(y + 2))

you invested 29,000 in two accounts paying 6% and 8% annual interest, respectively. if the total interest earned for the year is
yulyashka [42]
You can solve this using a system of equations:
0.06x + 0.08y = 2060 (interest)
x + y = 29,000 (money invested)

Multiply each term in the second equation by -0.06 to cancel out the 0.06x from the first equation.

-0.06x - 0.06y = -1740

Now add this equation to the first equation and solve for y.

 0.06x + 0.08y = 2060
-0.06x - 0.06y = -1740

0.02y = 320
y = 16,000

Since you know y = 16,000 you can substitute it into either of the original equations to solve for x. I picked the second equation because it's simpler, but you could also use the first.

x + 16,000 = 29,000
x = 13,000

So you invested 16,000 at 8% and 13,000 at 6%.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

each sculpture will use 0.78 lb of clay

Step-by-step explanation:

"An art teacher has 9 students in her class he has 21.06 pounds of clay that divided evenly among the students"

21.06 lb/9 = 2.34 lb

Each student gets 2.34 lb of clay.

"each student will divide his clay into 3 equal amounts"

2.34 lb/3 = 0.78 lb

Answer: each sculpture will use 0.78 lb of clay
