Given Equation: $\frac{1}{3}h-4(\frac{2}{3}h-3)=\frac{2}{3}h-6$

Let us remove parenthesis first.

In order to remove parenthesis, we need to distribute -4 over parenthesis (2/3 h -3).

Distributing -4 over (2/3 h -3), we get,

-4*2/3 h - 4*-3 = -8/3 h + 12.

Substituting this value in original equation, we get

$\frac{1}{3}h-\frac{8}{3}h+12 =\frac{2}{3}h-6$

Now, in order to make the equation easy to solve, we always remove fractions. In order to remove fraction, we need to find the lowest common denominator of all terms(lcd).

The fraction terms has 3 in denominators, so we could multiply each and every term by 3 to remove 3's from denominators.

Multiplying each equation by 3, we get,

$3*\frac{1}{3}h-3*\frac{8}{3}h+3*12 =3*\frac{2}{3}h-3*6$

On simplfying this step, we get

$1h -8h+36=2h-18$

Combining like terms on left side, we get

-7h +36 = 2h -18.

Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get

-7h +36 -36= 2h -18-36.

-7h=2h-54

Subtracting 2h from both sides, we get

-7h-2h=2h-54-2h

-9h = -54

Dividing both sides by -9.

-9h/-9 = -54/-9

h = 6.

Therefore, final answer is h=6.

Question 3 of 10

avanturin [10]

The correct answer is: Option 15.20

Explanation:
At the end of her last billing the amount = $760

The minimum monthly payment of Janet's card is 2%.

To find the monthly payment, we need to find the 2% of $760.

Therefore,
$760 * 2 / 100 = $15.20 > $10

What is the first step in solving the equation x2 – 16/25 = 0?

Keith_Richards [23]

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

x^2-(16/25)=0

Step by step solution :Step 1 : 16 Simplify —— 25 Equation at the end of step 1 : 16 (x2) - —— = 0 25 Step 2 :Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 25 as the denominator :

x2 x2 • 25 x2 = —— = ——————— 1 25

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x2 • 25 - (16) 25x2 - 16 —————————————— = ————————— 25 25 Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

2.3 Factoring: 25x2 - 16

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
 A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
 A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
 A2 - B2

Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : 16 is the square of 4
Check : x2 is the square of x1 

Factorization is : (5x + 4) • (5x - 4)

Equation at the end of step 2 : (5x + 4) • (5x - 4) ——————————————————— = 0 25 Step 3 :When a fraction equals zero : 3.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

(5x+4)•(5x-4) ————————————— • 25 = 0 • 25 25

Now, on the left hand side, the 25 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
(5x+4) • (5x-4) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product :

3.2 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.3 Solve : 5x+4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
 5x = -4
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
 x = -4/5 = -0.800

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.4 Solve : 5x-4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation :
 5x = 4
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
 x = 4/5 = 0.800

x = 4/5 = 0.800
 x = -4/5 = -0.800

Given the function h(a) = -x^2+ 7x + 14, determine the average rate of change

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of h(x) in the closed interval [a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here [a, b ] = [1, 8 ], thus

f(b) = f(8) = - 8² + 7(8) + 14 = - 64 + 56 + 14 = 6

f(a) = f(1) = - 1² + 7(1) + 14 = - 1 + 7 + 14 = 20

average rate of change = $\frac{6-20}{8-1}$ = $\frac{-14}{7}$ = - 2

Which expression results from using the distributive property 2(5 + r)

Vinvika [58]

Using the distributive property we know we distribute by multiplying the outside values to those inside of the parentheses

outside values: 2

inside values: 5 and r

now multiply out inside values by the outside values

2x5 = 10

2xr = 2r

now plug these values back in for the inside values and take away the outside value and the parentheses

so 2(5+r) using the distribution property is 10+2r
