<span>let's say, you have 2(x+5)=10 
What you  do is multiply the x and the 5 by 2 so it now looks like 
2x+10=10 

The act of multiplying the inside numbers by the number outside the parenthesis is the distributive property. Now using distributive property to remove grouping symbols is  similar 
</span>Lets say you have 18 + {2 + 3 (6 -1*2)} first you would multiply 2by1

= 18 + {2 + 3(6 - 2)} then subrtact 2 from 6 

= 18 + {2 + 3(4)} then multiply 3by 4  take away () grouping signal

= 18 + {2 + 12} then add 2 and 12

= 18 + {14} then take away the last grouping signals 

= 18 + 14 then add 18 and 14 

= 32

Leo wants to buy some shoes. He found the shoes at two different stores for a price of $35.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Store X:

0.15*35 = 5.25

35-5.25 = 29.75 dollars

Store Y:

0.05*35 = 1.75

35-1.75 = 33.25 dollars

Total difference:

33.25-29.75 = 3.50 dollars

Find the probability for the experiment of tossing a coin three times. Use the sample space S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, T
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1) 0.375

2) 0.375

3) 0.5

4) 0.5

5) 0.875

6) 0.5                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample space, S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}.

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

1. The probability of getting exactly one tail

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT, HTH, THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

2. The probability of getting exactly two tails

P(Exactly two tail)

Favorable outcomes ={ HTT,THT, TTH}

\text{P(Exactly two tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

3. The probability of getting a head on the first toss

P(head on the first toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}

\text{P(head on the first toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

4. The probability of getting a tail on the last toss

P(tail on the last toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT,HTT,THT,TTT}

\text{P(tail on the last toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

5. The probability of getting at least one head

P(at least one head)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH}

\text{P(at least one head)} = \dfrac{7}{8} = 0.875

6. The probability of getting at least two heads

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH,THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 4 feet, represented by a ve
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

y = -4/36 * (x-6)^2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The  quadratic equation expressed  in vertex from is

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

The vertex is  

Vertex = (h,k) = (6,4)

This means

y = a(x-6)^2 + 4

To find a, we know that at 12 feet from the water jet, the height is equal to zero.

0 = a(12-6)^2 + 4

a = -4/36

Therefore, the equation is

y = -4/36 * (x-6)^2 + 4

Please see attached graph for reference.
