Answer:

<h2>- 29 - 3a</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3 - 4a) + 5(a - 7)

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

= 6 - 8a + 5(a - 7)

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

= 6 - 8a + 5a - 35

Calculate the difference

=  - 29 - 8a + 5a

Collect like terms

=  - 29 - 3a

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!

= 6-35-8a+5a

= -29-3a

= -(29+3a)

Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix. y=1/8y^2
Brut [27]
If all the equations for the directrix are "x = " lines then this is a y^2 parabola.  The actual equation is x= \frac{1}{8}y^2.  The standard form for a positive sideways-opening parabola is  (y-k)^2=4p(x-h).  We know from the equation that the vertex of the parabola is at the origin, or else the translation would be reflected within the parenthesis in the equation.  Our equation has no parenthesis to indicate movement from the origin.  The vertex is (0, 0).  Got that out of the way.  That simplifies our standard form down to  y^2=4p(x).  Let's take a look at our equation now.  It is  x= \frac{1}{8}y^2.  We could rewrite it and make it a closer match to the standard form if we multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction.  That gives us an equation that looks like this:  y^2=8x.  That means that 4p = 8, and p = 2.  p is the distance that the focus and the directrix are from the vertex.  Since this is a positive parabola, it opens up to the right.  Which means, then, that the focus is to the right of the vertex, 2 units to be exact, and the directrix is 2 units to the left of the vertex.  The formula for the focus is (h + p, k).  Our h is 0, our k is 0 and our p is 2, so the coordinates of the focus are (2, 0).  Going 2 units to the left of the origin then puts our directrix at the line x = -2.  Your choice then as your answer is b.

In 6 years, John will be 3 times the age he was 2 years ago. What is his current age?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

John is currently 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 years ago: x years

Current time: x+2

In 6 years: x+8

EQUATION:

3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8

(subract x from both sides)

2x=8

x=4

Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time

If 1/5 of the cards are hockey cards, there are 2 hockey cards. if he wants to double that amount, he would multiply it by 2, so 2•2=4. The fraction of hockey cards is now is 2/5.
