Answer:

addition

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $(8-2x)^2+4$

We want to determine the last operation performed when evaluating this expression for x=3.

We substitute to get:

$(8-2*3)^2+4$

Multiply within the parenthesis to get:

$(8-6)^2+4$

Subtract to get:

$2^2+4$

Evaluate the exponent to get:

4+4

Add to obtain:

Hence the final operation is addition

linda scored 35, 47, and 42 points on three tests. how many points should she get on the fourth test to get an average score of

aliya0001 [1]

(35 + 47 + 42 + x) / 4 = 50
(124 + x) / 4 = 50....multiply both sides by 4, cancelling the 4 on the left side.
124 + x = 50 * 4
124 + x = 200
x = 200 - 124
x = 76 <===

(7z^3+42z^2-15z+1)- (36z^2+12z-21)

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

7z^3+6z^2-27z+22

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is of subtraction:

So,

(7z^3+42z^2-15z+1)- (36z^2+12z-21)

=7z^3+42z^2-15z+1-36z^2-12z+21

Combining alike terms to simplify

=7z^3+42z^2-36z^2-15z-12z+1+21

=7z^3+6z^2-27z+22

So the answer in simplified form is:

7z^3+6z^2-27z+22 ..

The quadratic formula is above.

You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3

Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
