Simplify the expression, only odds 9-17

All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

a(b+c) = ab+ac

So, a is multiplying the parenthesis involving b and c, and we distributed it: a multiplies both  b and c in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum 3x+2y, and neither 5x^2-4x exponents count.

But you can su, for example,

5x-3x = (5-3)x = 2x

or

23xy^2z^6 - 17xy^2z^6 = 6xy^2z^6

So, take for example exercise 9:

1.2(7x-5y) - (10y-4.3x)

We distribute the 1.2 through the first parenthesis:

1.2(7x-5y) = 1.2 \cdot 7x - 1.2 \cdot 5y = 8.4x-6y

And you can distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis (it counts as a -1 to distribute):

- (10y-4.3x) = -10y+4.3x

So, the expression becomes

8.4x-6y-10y+4.3x

Now sum like terms:

(8.4+4.3)x + (-6-10)y = 12.7x - 16y

What is the simplest form of the expression 6x(x − 4) − 16x2 − (9x − 1)
Sedbober [7]
Use distributie property which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac
therefor
6x(x-4)=6x^2-24x

distribute the negative 1 infroont of the (9x-1)
-1(9x-1)=-9x+1
now we have

6x^2-24x-16x^2-9x+1
gropu like terms
6x^2-16x^2-24x-9x+1
add like terms
-10x^2-33x+1 is simplest form

If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that both dice show an odd number?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Both dice have odd numbers 1, 3, 5. The chances of getting an odd number on each number is 3/6

The probability of getting odd numbers on both is:

3/6 ⋅ 3/6 = 9/36 = 1/4
