Dan started with 69 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the initial number of cards

Then

According to "Dan bought 7 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection"

$x+7$

The next day his dog ate half of his collection.

$\frac{1}{2}(x+7)$

There are now only 38 cards left.

$\frac{1}{2} (x+7) = 38$

Multiplying both sides by 2

$x+ 7 = 38*2\\x+7 = 76$

Subtracting 7 from both sides

$x+7-7 = 76-7\\x = 69$

Hence,

Dan started with 69 cards

For all values of x and y, which expression is equivalent to 8x + 6y? A) 2(4x + 3y) B) 2x + 3y C) 3(4x + 2y) D) 4(2x + 3y)

Reika [66]

The answer would be 2(4x + 3y) cause the 2 gets multiplied by the numbers in the parentheses so 2x4x = 8x and 2x 3y = 6y

Set up the equation to find the AREA of the SMALL rectangle with a length of (x) and width (x+7)

Igoryamba

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the area of a rectangle, we have to multiply the length with the width.

In the question, the given length is 'x' and the width given is 'x +7'

So, the area would be

( $x$ ) x ( $x + 7$ )

The area = $x^{2} + 7x$

So, the equation to find the area of such a rectangle would be:-

( $x$ ) x ( $x + 7$ )
