Answer:

-8a-24b=28. A simplified equation would be -32a+28

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to multiple every number in the parentheses by (-4). This would give us -8,-24, and 28. Then we just replace the values and simplify by combining -8 and -24

Answer:

-8a - 24b + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

When you distribute, you multiply each number inside of the parentheses by the number outside of the parentheses.

Distribute:

-4(2a + 6b - 7)

-4(2a) -4(6b) -4(-7)

Multiply:

-4(2a) -4(6b) -4(-7)

-8a - 24b + 28

That's it! Hope this helps :)

A chain lying on the ground is 10 m long and its mass is 70 kg. How much work (in J) is required to raise one end of the chain t

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$W= 34.3 \frac{kg}{s^2} (4^2-0^2)m^2 =548.8 \frac{kg m^2}{s^2} =548.8 J$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data Given: m = 70 kg , g = 9.8 ms^-2, h =10m.

For this case we can use the following formula:

$W = \int_{x_i}^{x_f} F(x) dx$

For this case we need to find an expression for the force in terms of the distance. And since on this case the total distance is 10 m long we can write the expression like this:

$F(x) = \frac{ma}{10m}= \frac{mg}{10m} x$
