Answer:

Option C is correct

The equation can become $4x -12 -5x -5= 3$ by applying the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property states that:

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

As per the given statement:

An equation is given as:

$4(x -3) -5(x+1) = 3$

Apply the distributive property we have;

$4x -12 -5x -5= 3$

Therefore, the equation can become $4x -12 -5x -5= 3$ by applying the distributive property.

The equation is 4(x-3) -(5x+1) = 3

The next step is solving the equation is to apply the distributive property and the equation becomes 4x - 12 - 5x - 5 = 3.

So the correct answer is the third option.

the axis of symmetry of a quadratic equation is x = –3. if one of the zeroes of the equation is 4, what is the other zero?

FinnZ [79.3K]

ANSWER

The other zero is

$x = - 10$

EXPLANATION

The axis of symmetry serves as the midpoint of the two zeroes.

We were given that the axis of symmetry of the quadratic equation is
$x = - 3$

We were also given that, one of the zeroes of the quadratic equation is
$x = 4$

Let the other zero of the quadratic equation be
$x = p$

,then, we apply the midpoint formula to find the value of
$p$

Since it is the x-values of the intercepts that gives the solution, we use only the x-value part of the midpoint formula which is given by,

$\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = axis \: of \: symmetry$

We substitute to obtain,

$\frac{p + 4}{2} = - 3$

We multiply through by 2 to get,

$p + 4 = - 6$

This implies that,

$p = - 6 - 4$

$p = - 10$
