The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]

A.
7 times number of cats=pay
if pay=49 then
7 times number of cats=49
divide both sides by 7
number of cats=7

da equaton can be
c=number of cats
7c=49

he fed 7 cats

B.

7c=49
divide both sides by 7
equality property of division
(7c)/7=49/7

Toby can but T-shirts in packs of 5 for 13.00 or in packs of 2 for 7.22. How much money does he save by buying 30 T-shirts at th

Helen [10]

Toby saves 30.30 money by buying 30 T-shirts at better price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of pack of 5 T-shirts = 13.00 money.

Cost of pack of 2 T-shirts = 7.22 money.

Toby wants to buy total T-shirts = 30 T-shirts.

Case 1 :

For 30 T-shirts, If Toby buys in packs of 5 T-shirts then the number of packs he should buy = 30/5 = 6 packs.

The cost for six packs of 5 T-shirts = 6*13.00 = 78.00 money.

Case 2 :

For 30 T-shirts, If Toby buys in packs of 2 T-shirts then the number of packs he should buy = 30/2 = 15 packs.

The cost for 15 packs of 2 T-shirts = 15*7.22 = 108.30 money.

The money saved = 108.30 -78.00 = 30.30 money.

Therefore, The better price to buy 30 T-shirts is 78.00 money.

Solve 2(x + 1) = 2x + 2. (1 point) ♡ 0 O All real numbers No solution 1

sattari [20]

Answer:

B. All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

Distribute the 2 inside the parenthesis.

2x + 2 = 2x + 2

Since the two expressions are equal and will stay equal with any value, the answer to this question is All real numbers.

Example:

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

2(5 + 1) = 2(5) + 2

2(6) = 10 + 2

12 = 12

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

2(150 + 1) = 2(150) + 2

2(151) = 300 + 2

302 = 302

The expression is equal for any value put in x.
