How do I simplify 3(2a-8b)

Well All you have to do is Just divide the 8 by the 4 and you get 2a-2b 
<span>Unless it's all over 4, if it is, you should have written it as (2a-8b)/4. The parentheses make a difference. ^ ^</span>
<span>If it is all over 4 you can rewrite it as (2a/4)-(8b/4) </span>
<span>(2/4)a-(8/4)b </span>
<span>(1/2)a-2b or (a/2)-2b </span>

Hope I helped :D

You would have to do distribution. So you would have to multiply 3 by 2a and multiply 3 by -8b. 3 times 2a equals 6a (always keep the letter) and 3 times -8b equals -24b. (if there is only one negative number when multiplying, always keep the negative sign.) now you are left with 6a-24b. and since we cant put a into b, your answer would be 6a-24b. hopefully this helped you and sorry if it confused you

Two interior angles $A$ and $B$ of pentagon $ABCDE$ are $60^{\circ}$ and $85^{\circ}$. Two of the remaining angles, $C$ and $D$,
lisov135 [29]

The largest angle is E = 205°.

<h3>What is a pentagon?</h3>
  • A pentagon is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon in geometry.
  • A basic pentagon's internal angles add up to 540°.
  • A pentagon might be straightforward or self-intersecting.
  • A pentagram is a self-intersecting regular pentagon (or a star pentagon).

To find the measure of the largest angle:

The sum of interior angles of a polygon is:

  • Sum = 180° × (n - 2)

Where n is the number of sides.

Here n = 5, as pentagon has 5 sides.

  • Sum = 180° × 3 = 540°

Let, C = D = x

Then, E = 2x + 15 (15 more than twice C)

We can express the sum of the 5 angles as:

  • 60 + 85 + x + x + 2x + 15 = 540

Simplify the left side by collecting like terms:

  • 4x + 160 = 540

Subtract 160 from both sides:

  • 4x + 160 - 160 = 540 - 160
  • 4x = 380

Divide both sides by 4:

  • 4x/4 = 380/4 = x = 95
  • C = D = x = 95°
  • E (2 × 95) + 15 = 205°

The 5 interior angles of the pentagon are:

  • 60° + 85° + 95° + 95° + 205° = 540°

The largest angle is E = 205°.

Therefore, the largest angle is E = 205°.

Let mA = 40°. If B is a complement of A, and C is a supplement of B, find these measures.
nasty-shy [4]
If B is a complement of A this means that the sum of the measures of A and B is 90 degrees.
             
mA + mB = 90
                  mB =90 - mA
                  mB = 90 - 40 = 50

Thus, the measure of angle B is 50 degrees. 

If C is a supplement of B then, the sum of the measures of B and C is 180 degrees. 
                mC + mB = 180
                mC = 180 - mB
                 mC = 180 - 50 = 130

Therefore, the measure of angle C is 130 degrees.

A bag contains 60 marbles of various colors. Shana draws 48 times, each time replacing the marble before drawing again. She gets
muminat

Answer:D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Shana drew 48 times and pulled a green marble 8 times, so the fraction of green marbles in the bag is about 8/48. Multiply that by the total number of marbles in the bag and you get the total number of green marbles in the bag.
