Answer:

say the equation was 2x - 5 = 2x -3

well the first thing I could do is subtract the 2x from both sides, but 2x is on both sides so there would be no x-value meaning there is no solution

Answer:

2x-3=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3=2x-4

-3=-4

Not true. Thus, no solution.

FIRST GETS BRAINLLEST If each 12 feet on the scale drawing below equals 3 cm, what is the actual length of the green line?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You would only have to focus on the green line and then you just have to divide it by 12 and you get 4 and than you multiply 3 cm by 4 and the answer for the actual length of the green line will be 12 cm.

Which operation results in an expression equivalent to ? 23y^4 - 6y^3 + 35y^2 - 20y

Tom [10]

Answer:

D. P + Q

Explanation:

Given:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Required:

Determine which operation will give an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

SOLUTION:

Perform each operation given to see which of them gives an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

Q - P:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Q - P = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(5y²(3y² + 7) -4y(3y² + 7)) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

Open parentheses

15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y - 8y⁴ - 6y³ - 8y

Collect like terms

15y⁴ - 8y⁴ - 12y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 28y - 8y

7y⁴ - 18y³ + 35y² - 36y

Therefore, P - Q does not give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

PQ:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

PQ = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

=(8y⁴(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +6y³(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +8y(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y))

= 120y⁸ . . . . .

Note: You don't need to perform this operation further anymore. It would definitely not give us the equivalent expression we are looking for. The degree of the leading term (120y⁸) is way too greater than the degree of the leading term (23y⁴) of the equivalent expression we are looking for.

Thus, PQ cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P - Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P - Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) - (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y - 15y⁴ - 35y² + 12y³ + 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ - 15y⁴ + 6y³ + 12y³ - 35y² + 8y + 28y

-7y⁴ + 18y³ - 35y² + 36y

Therefore, P - Q cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P + Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P + Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) + (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y + 15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ + 15y⁴ + 6y³ - 12y³ + 35y² + 8y - 28y

23y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y

Therefore, P + Q will result in an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

The answer is D.

Answer: 1 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets simplify 2/5x1/4,

-> 8/20x5/20

-> 40/20

-> 4/2

Now lets calculate:

42÷−7−6=?

In the second fraction, the negative numerator and negative denominator cancel each other.

The equivalent equation is

42÷76=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

42×67=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

4×62×7=2414

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 24 and 14 using

GCF(24,14) = 2

24÷214÷2=127

The fraction

127

is the same as

12÷7

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 12 ÷ 7 = 1R5, so

127=157

Therefore:

42÷−7−6=157

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for division, to

42÷−7−6

and solve

4×−62×−7

=−24−14

A negative over a negative becomes positive

=2414

Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(24,14) = 2

24÷214÷2=127

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 12 ÷ 7 = 1R5, so

127=157

Therefore:

42÷−7−6=1 5/7

(Sorry for the 157s I meant 1 5/7)

A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies. Write and solve a proportion to find how much flour is needed to make 54

horrorfan [7]

For the answer to the question above,
when you put it into a proportion it would be 2/24 = x/54
multiply 2 and 54 which equals 108
and multiply 24 and x which equals 24x
so you have 24x=108 divide 24x by 24 so you have x standing alone but what you do to one side you have to do to the other so divide 108 by 24 and get 4.5 which is 4 1/2 cups of flour.
So the answer is<span> 2/24 = x/54; x = 4 1/2 cups</span>
