Answer:

7x - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute meaning multiply -8 by 4 then by -3x; this results in -32+24x.

2. Afterward, you rewrite your expression: -32+24x-17x.

3. Subtract like terms and rewrite for final answer: 7x-32

1. distribute the -8 into the parentheses and you get -32+24x-17x
2. combine like terms and get -32+7x
3. if you need to make it simpler set the equation = to zero -32+7x=0 and then add the 32 on both sides
4. 7x=32 and then divide by 7 and you get 32/7 or approximately 4.571

I hope this helped!! :)

It is D, because you have to get the denomenator"s equal so 9 times 4 is 36 and you take the numerator's and times by the other's denominator then subtract them to get 5/36

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.
