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

Marco and Drew stacked boxes on a shelf. Marco lifted 9 boxes and Drew lifted 14 boxes. The boxes that Drew lifted each weighed
MrRa [10]
The correct answer is b. 14(m-8).

This is because it says that the weight of the boxes drew lifted were 8 pounds less than what marco lifted.  This can be represented by m-8.  You then need to multiply this by the amount of boxes that drew lifted, or 14.

Which of the following equations is a constant function? y = x y = 5 x = 5
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Second Option

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant function is one for which the range does not change regardless of the value of the domain.

f (x_1) = f (x_2) = f (x_3) = m

Where m is a constant.

The constant functions are horizontal lines parallel to the axis of the x

Note that

y = x is not a constant function because the value of y changes when x changes.

x = 1, y = 1

x = 2 y = 2

x = 5 is not a constant function because the range of the function is not constant. x = 5 is a vertical line

y = 5 is a constant function, since for any of the value of x, the value of y will always be 5
