Atlantic sea turtle eggs that incubate below 23°C or above 33°C rarely hatch. Write the temperature requirements in two ways: as
VARVARA [1.3K]
If the temperature of the egg is x, then if x is below 23 (x<23), they rarely hatch. If x is greater than 33 (x>33), they also rarely hatch. For them to not rarely hatch, then x must be not below 23 (greater than or equal to) and not above 33 (less than or equal to), resulting in our compound equality being 
23≤x≤33 and our pair of simple inequalities being x≥23 and x≤33.

Simplify the expression ​
finlep [7]

Answer:

\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}

The first thing we want to do, is to have the same denominator in both equations, then we need to multiply the first term by (2/2), so the denominator becomes 4*x

We will get:

(\frac{2}{2} )\frac{2*x - 2}{2*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4}{4*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x}

Now we can directly add the terms to get:

\frac{4*x - 4}{4*x}  - \frac{3*x + 2}{4*x} = \frac{4*x - 4 - 3*x - 2}{4*x}  = \frac{x - 6}{4*x}

We can't simplify this anymore

Multiply: (3x - 5)(-x + 4)
insens350 [35]

Answer:

-3x²+17x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

When you apply the distributive property (which you did correctly), you simply multiply each number or variable in which you have to distribute it to (which again you wrote correctly) and then you add them all together.

(3x)(-x)=-3x²

+

(3x)(4)=12x

+

(-5)(-x)=5x

+

(-5)(4)=-20

Add those and you will get your answer. Hope this helped :)
