Answer:

No they are not!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

3 (5 b - 2) = 0

Divide both sides of 3 (5 b - 2) = 0 by 3:

(3 (5 b - 2))/3 = 0/3

3/3 = 1:

5 b - 2 = 0/3

0/3 = 0:

5 b - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

5 b + (2 - 2) = 2

2 - 2 = 0:

5 b = 2

Divide both sides of 5 b = 2 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 2/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer:  b = 2/5

____________________________________________

Solve for b:

8 b - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

8 b + (5 - 5) = 5

5 - 5 = 0:

8 b = 5

Divide both sides of 8 b = 5 by 8:

(8 b)/8 = 5/8

8/8 = 1:

Answer:  b = 5/8

No, if you multiply the factors in 3(5b-2) the equivalent expression would be 15b-6

What’s the answer to this question below. A b c or d
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

(\frac{1}{7})^{3a+3} =343^{a-1}

This implies that;

7^{-1(3a+3)} =7^{3(a-1)}

Equate the exponents;

-1(3a+3) =3(a-1)

Expand;

-3a-3 =3a-3

-3a-3a =-3+3

-6a=0

a=0

Find the length of the missing side. The diagram is not drawn to scale. (Please explain how to get to the answer)
ankoles [38]
The triangle is a right triangle so use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

15² + b² = 17²
225 + b² = 289
b² = 64
b = √64
b = 8

Hope this helps :)

2. Write an expression to represent f (20)
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I just learned this topic and have the same question, so I'm not sure if this right. However, I see a fellow student struggling and have to at least put in what I know. My equation was f(n) = 64(1/2)^n-1, then the question was write an expression to represent f(20).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, my answer was f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

f(20) is the number you plug into n. And because the exponent is n-1, I knew to subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.

Then I just wrote the equation out like the original expect with the numbers pluged in: f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

I hope this helps!
