Factor out the coefficient of the variable 5/6s+2/3

1 answer:

6 0

Okay. so I'm gonna assume you know what factor out means--were gonna take out 5/6. what we need to know is, how does that affect our ending number 2/3? well, we're gonna have 5/6 times some stuff first off, right?

5/6 ( )

so what's in the parenthesis? well, if we distribute in our mind, S would just have to be by itself for it to work out. so we have

5/6 ( s )

but what about 2/3? well, if we're multiplying everything on the inside by 5/6, how can be get it to cancel and leave 2/3 alone? we could divide 2/3 by 5/6, right?

5/6 ( s + (2/3) / (5/6) )

now, when we distribute our 5/6, we'll have just 2/3 at the end. now let's simplify that end term so it looks a little better. if we divide by a fracion, that's the same as multiplying by the flipped version, so let's do that.

2/3 / 5/6 = 2/3 × 6/5 = 2 (6) / 5 (3) = 12/15

we can reduce 12/15 by dividing the top and bottom by three.

= 4/5

so our final answer would be:

5/6 [S + 4/5] you can redistribute to make sure it matches. Anyway, hope that helps!

Using f(x) = 2x + 7 and g(x) = x - 3, find f(g(x)).

Answer:

2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

that's a hard question

we know that g(x)= x-3

so f(g(x))= f(x-3)

we put it in the equation :

f(x-3)= 2(x-3) +7 = 2x-6+7 = 2x +1

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

C) Tom did not distribute to both terms in parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition within a paranthesis has a distributive property to the multiplier outside the paranthesis. Ignoring this will lead to a wrong value for the operation.
