So you have to distribute the 2 into the 5x-7. So you will have 2(5x)-2(7) which equals 10x-14. So the answer is 10x-14

Answer:

10x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says that a(b+c) = ab+ac

In my example you distribute the value on the outside to the things on the inside

In your problem, you have a two on the outside that needs to be distributed to a 5x and a -7.

1) two multiplied by 5x equals 10x giving you the first part of your answer!

2) two multiplied by -7 equals -14 giving you the second part of your answer!

Put the two values together to get 10x-14

Let me know if you have any further questions :)

Refer to the image i couldnt copy it so the image is the quesstion<br><br> answer in true or false

The sign of "b" on the numerator should be negative. So we conclude that the correct option is false.

<h3>Is the equation in the image correct or incorrect?</h3>

For a quadratic equation of the form:

$y = a*x^2 + b*x + c$

By using the Bhaskara's formula, the solutions of the equation:

$0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c$

Are given by the formula:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

Notice that the sign of the first term on the numerator should be negative, while on the image it is positive.

So the equation shown in the image is incorrect.

Please answer quickly this is due today and I just can’t figure it all out!!

Bumek [7]

Answer:

A. You may set the variables in either order. But for argument sake, let's set as follows:

x = Amount of bookshelves

y = Amount of tables

B. Because of the amount of things you need to make, the following is an inequality using those variables.

x + y > 25

Plus you can determine a second inequality based on the amount of money that you have to spend.

20x + 45y < 675

Finally you may also add in that each value must be greater than or equal to zero, since they cannot have negative tables.

C. By solving the system and looking at basic constraints when graphed, you can see the feasible region has 4 vertices.

(0,0)

(18, 7)

(0, 15)

(33.75, 0) or (33, 0) if you insist on rounding.

Step-by-step explanation: Good luck and hope this helps :)

Given the equation 5 + x - 14 = x - 7.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign

-9+x= x-7

move similar terms to the same side

-2=0x

divide both sides by x

x=0

Several paint mixtures are made by mixing blue paint and white paint. Paint Colors Blue Paint White Paint Mixture A 5 cups 12 cu

Flura [38]

The correct answer is option B which is mixture B will have the highest ratio of blue paint.

<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>

In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.

<h3 />

The given ratios are:-

Mixture A = $\dfrac{5}{12} = 0.41$

Mixture B = $\dfrac{6}{6}= 1$

Mixture C = $\dfrac{4}{12}= 0.33$

Mixture B = $\dfrac{5}{6}=0.83$

Here the ratio of mixture B is the highest among all the options available.

Therefore the correct answer is option B which is mixture B will have the highest ratio of blue paint.
