No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers

  • (-) + (-) = (-)
  • (-) × (-) = (+)
  • (-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
  • (-) × (+) = (-)
  • (-) - (+) = (-)
  • (+) - (-) = (+)

∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n

- Simplify it

∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n

- Multiply the bracket by (-)

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n

- Add the like terms

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n

∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n

∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n

∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

y-intercept = 275

x-intercept = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point on your line where x=0. On this line, the y-intercept is the point (0,275) (x,y)

The x-intercept is the point on your line where y=0. On this line, the x-intercept is the point (125,0) (x,y)
