When the distributed property is used to solve 3(x+5)=5x-7, what could the next step be?

Mathematics

Answer:

after distributive property, it would be 3x+15=5x-7

the next step would be to simplify by moving the variables one side and the numbers the other, -2x= -22, then after isolate variable by dividing -2.

x= 11

Answer:   (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

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

Graph the line y = -2x + 1 (which is in y = mx + b format) by plotting the y-intercept (b = 1) on the y-axis and then using the slope (m = -2) to plot the second point by going down 2 and right 1 unit from the first point:

        y - intercept = (0, 1)            2nd point = ( -1, 1).

Graph the parabola y = x² - 2x - 3 by first plotting the vertex and then plotting the y-intercept (or some other point):

y = x^2-2x-3\quad \rightarrow \quad a=1,\ b=-2,\ c=-3\\\\\text{axis of symmetry:}\ x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}\ \longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{-(-2)}{2(1)}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{y-value of vertex:}\ f(1) = (1)^2-2(1)-3\quad \longrightarrow \quad y = 1 - 2 - 3=-4\\\\\text{y-intercept:}\ f(0)= (0)^2-2(0)-3\ \longrightarrow \ y=0 - 0 - 3 = -3 \\

         vertex = (1, -4)                2nd point (y-intercept) = (0, -3)


<em>see attached</em> - the graphs intersect at two points:  (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

Sari is teaching her best friend how to factor trinomials with a leading coefficient greater than 1. She starts with the trinomi
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

See explanation

2x^2+5x+3=(x+1)(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

2x^2+5x+3

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

2\cdot 3=6

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

2+3=5

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)

A complex number z=a+bi had an absolute value of 3.28. What could the values of a and b be ? A.a=1.5,b=1.7 C.a=1.7,b=2.8
Levart [38]
The given complex number is ⇒ z = a + b i
The absolute value of z = √( a² + b² ) = 3.28
So, we will check which of the options will give 3.28

<span>( A) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.5 and b=1.7
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √( 1.5² + 1.7²) = √5.14 ≈ 2.27
</span>
===================================

<span>(B) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.5 and b=3.3
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(1.5² + 3.3²) = √13.14 ≈ 3.62
</span>
====================================

<span>(C) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.7 and b=2.8
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(1.7² + 2.8²) = √10.73 ≈ 3.28
</span>
====================================

<span>(D) IF ⇒⇒ a=2.8 and b=3.3
</span>
∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(2.8² + 3.3²) = √18.73 ≈ 4.33
=====================================
So, the correct answer is option (C) <span>a=1.7,b=2.8</span>

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + 6^2 = 10^2

a^2 + 36 = 100

a^2 = 64

a = 8

Perry finished a 100-meter race in 7/8 of a minute. The winner of the race used 14/15 of Perry's time to finish the race. How mu
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

49 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The time perry used is 7/8 of a minute

a minute equals to 60 seconds

so the time perry used is 7/8 x 60 = 52.5 seconds

The winner used 14/15 of 52.5 seconds (perrys time)

so 14/15 x 52.5 = 49 seconds
