<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)

We need to determine the equivalent expression.

<u>Option A:</u> -1

Solving the expression, we get;

\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15

Simplifying, we get;

14+15=29

Thus, the expression 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right) is not equivalent to -1.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

<u>Option B</u>: 29

Solving the expression, we get;

\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15

Simplifying, we get;

14+15=29

Thus, the expression 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right) is equivalent to 29.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

<u>Option C</u>: 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]

Let us rewrite the given expression.

2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]

Thus, the expression 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right) is equivalent to 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

<u>Option D</u>: 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)

Rewriting the expression, we get;

2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]

Hence, the expression 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right) is equivalent not to 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

<u>Option E:</u> 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get;

2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)

Hence, the expression 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right) is equivalent to 2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)

Thus, Option E is the correct answer.

Bob sold 5 toaster ovens and 3 blenders for $500. if a blender is $20 less than a toaster oven, how much is a blender?
Harrizon [31]
The answer would be $50 per blender. 
To explain the way I did it --
Toaster ovens - 70 * 5 = 350
70 - 20 = 50
Blenders - 50 * 3 = 150
350 + 150 = 500

Xelga [282]

Answer:

ML = {bba, ab, a, bbaabb, ababb, aabb}

Step-by-step explanation:

By application of Union of a set.

M = {bba,ab, a}

L = {Λ,abb}

6. Andre and Elena are each saving money. Andre starts with $100 in his savings account and adds $5 per week. Elena starts with
lora16 [44]

You need to write an equation for each.

For Andre, he has 100 dollars, and every week gets 5 dollars more. You add the 5 dollars, and Since you don't know how many weeks it has been, use a variable.

100 + 5w

For Elena, she has 10 dollars, and gets 20 each week.

10 + 20w

Now that you know that it has been 4 weeks, you can plug in 4 for the variable for weeks.

Andrew:

100 + 5(4) = 100 + 20 = 120

Elena

10 + 20(4) = 10 + 80 = 90

Andrew has more money in this time.

To find when they have the same amount, equal their expressions to each other. This means that they will have the same amount (because they are equalled) and you can solve to find the variable, which means the weeks that they are equal at.

Bring the like terms to each side by canceling them out. Since you have positive 10, then subtract 10 to each side. You have 5w, so subtract 5w to each side.

100 + 5w = 10 + 20w \\ 90 + 5w = 20w \\ 90 = 15w \\ 90 \div 15 = 6 \\ 6 = w

The answer will simplify down to 6 weeks.
