Answer:
-12x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x - 8 - 2x) - (12x - 7) - (4x - 5)
The subtraction sign before the parenthesis is basically multiplying by -1, so the subtraction signs in the parenthesis have to change to addition. After that, you can remove the parenthesis.
6x - 8 - 2x - 12x + 7 - 4x + 5
Simplified = -12x + 4

Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100

X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
Answer:
y - 1 = -(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = (5-1)/(-2-2) = 4/-4 = -1
Using any one coordinate, construct
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = -1(x - 2)
