Hi! What you need to use here is the distributive property:

-9( x + 11)

-9(x) + -9(11)

-9x + (-99) or -9x - 99

Hope this helps you! Happy Thanksgiving, here's a turkey!

Help. IM SO LOST ON THIS! ;(

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

1. 4 $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 1, you need to know the ratio between the recipe and the amount in question.

So if in the recipe, it says it uses 3/4 cup of diced ham, and the question uses 1 cup of diced ham, you can divide 1 by 3/4 to get 4/3. This is how many times bigger the amount used in the question than the recipe.

Then it asks for how many cups of potatoes, to do this, you look at the recipe and how many potatoes it uses: 3.5 cups

To solve it then, you just do 3.5 x 4/3 to get 4 $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of potatoes

There's your answer.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction 2 a + 1 Over 10 a minus 5 Endfraction divided by StartFraction 10 a Over 4 a squ

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$

Required

Find the equivalent

We start by changing the / to *

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}$

Factorize 10a - 5

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{4a^2 - 1}{10a}$

Expand 4a² - 1

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1}{10a}$

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a)^2 - 1^2}{10a}$

Express (2a)² - 1² as a difference of two squares

Difference of two squares is such that: $a^2- b^2= (a+b)(a-b)$

The expression becomes

$\frac{2a + 1}{5(2a - 1)} * \frac{(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{10a}$

Combine both fractions to form a single fraction

$\frac{(2a + 1)(2a - 1)(2a + 1)}{5(2a - 1)10a}$

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2a - 1

$\frac{(2a + 1)((2a + 1)}{5*10a}$

Simplify the numerator

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{5*10a}$

$\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

Hence,

$\frac{2a + 1}{10a - 5} / \frac{10a}{4a^2 - 1}$ = $\frac{(2a + 1)^2}{50a}$

You need a mean of at least 90 points to advance to the next round of the touch-screen trivia. What score in the fifth game will

lianna [129]

Answer:

At least 98 is needed in the 5th game

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

$Game\ 1 = 95$

$Game\ 2 = 91$

$Game\ 3 = 77$

$Game\ 4 =89$

$Mean = 90$ at least

Required

The score in game 5 to make you advance

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$Mean = \frac{95 + 91 + 77 + 89 + Game\ 5}{5}$

$Mean = \frac{352 + Game\ 5}{5}$

The mean must be at least 90.

So, we have:

$\frac{352 + Game\ 5}{5} \ge 90$

Multiply both sides by 5

$5 * \frac{352 + Game\ 5}{5} \ge 90 * 5$

$352 + Game\ 5 \ge 450$

Make Game 5 the subject

$Game\ 5 \ge450 - 352$

$Game\ 5 \ge 98$

<em>At least 98 is needed in the 5th game</em>
