<h3>Answer: Choice C, 9.3 x 10^7 miles </h3>

notes

* 9.3 x 10^7 is 93,000,000 or the number "93 million". This is the approximate distance from earth to the sun (I believe the average distance)

* 500 seconds = 8.333 min = 8 min, 20 seconds

====================================================

Work Shown:

speed of light is roughly 1.86 * 10^5 miles per second, assuming you meant to put an exponent between the 10 and 5. This means that in 1 second, light travels roughly 1.86*10^5 miles (about 186 thousand miles)

Multiply this by 500

500 * (1.86 * 10^5)

(500*1.86)*10^5

930 * 10^5

(9.3 * 10^2) * 10^5

9.3 * (10^2*10^5)

9.3 * 10^(2+5)

9.3 * 10^7

This is the same as 93,000,000 or "93 million" after you move the decimal point 7 spots to the right.

(8x+5)+(4x-3) what is that equal to
Anna [14]

Answer:

12x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what the expression equals, you can collect like terms. This means to do the operations (add or subtract) the numbers that have the same variables.

(8x + 5) + (4x - 3)        Remove brackets to add a binomial (2-term brackets)

= 8x + 5 + 4x - 3        Collect like terms

= 8x + 4x + 5 - 3        I rearranged so you can see which terms are alike

= 12x + 5 - 3        Collected like terms with "x" (8x + 4x = 12x)

= 12x + 2        Collected like terms with no variables (5 - 3 = 2)

Therefore (8x + 5) + (4x - 3) is equal to 12x + 2.

If you want, you can also find another equal expression by factoring. Since "12x" and "2" are both divisible by the factor 2, you can <em>take it out</em> and put the other numbers in a bracket.

12x + 2

= 2(12x/2 + 2/2)

= 2(6x + 1)        This is equal, but in factored form.
