Multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses

=2(6.1x+25.3y+2.1x-3.9y)
=(2*6.1x)+(2*25.3y)+(2*2.1x)+(2*-3.9y)
=12.2x + 50.6y + 4.2x - 7.8y
combine like terms
= 16.4x + 42.8y

=4(4.1x+ 10.7)
=(4*4.1x) + (4*10.7y)
=16.4x + 42.8y

ANSWER: Yes, the two expressions are equivalent.

Hope this helps! :)

The area of the poster is (x^2+2x-15) inches the width is (x-3) inches calculate the dimensions of the poster board when x=14

givi [52]

Answer:

The poster is 11 inches wide and 19 inches in height.

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the given equation: (x^2+2x-15) and we add in 14 as our x variable:

((14)^2+2(14)-15) the answer we get from that is 209. The area of the poster is 209 square inches. Then we find the width by taking (x-3) in this case x is 14 so the width of the poster is 11. In order to find the height we divide the height by the width and we get 19.

Therefore:

Height= 19 Inches

Width= 11 Inches

Total Area= 209 Square Inches
