Combine like terms to simplify the expression below. 14x - (2x + y)

Mathematics

nalin [4]3 years ago

Answer:

12x - y

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the brackets are being multiplied by -1. For this you can just use the opposite signs for the things in brackets and remove the brackets. (AKA 14x - 2x - y)

Then you can ignore the y for now, and just deal with the x's first.

14x - 2x = 12x

Since there's only 1 y, you don't need to do anything with it other than put it back in the equation.

The finished equation is 12x - y

NemiM [27]

Answer:

-3.33 ft. per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of an object can be calculated by finding the difference in position between the starting point and end point, and then dividing by the difference in time between the starting time and end time. Using the values provided in the question we can calculate the following

\frac{120ft - 70ft}{15s - 0s} = 3.33 ft. per second

With the calculation above we can see that the rate of change during these 15 seconds is 3.33 ft. per second. Since the endpoint is further down below ground level then we were descending which means that the rate of change would be a negative (-3.33 ft. per second)

2/3 (x - 7) = -2 what does x equal<br><br> (2/3 is a fraction not dividing)
ozzi

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x - 7) = - 2

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x - 7) = - 6 ← distribute left side

2x - 14 = - 6 ( add 14 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

HURRY! What value of m completed the two-way table?
vlabodo [156]
<h3>Answer:  13</h3>

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

Explanation:

We're told that there are 50 people in each grade that are surveyed. So that means 50 eighth graders were surveyed.

Add up the values along the bottom row. Set the sum equal to 50 and solve for m

m+8+29 = 50

m+37 = 50

m = 50-37

m = 13

Then note how 13+8+29 = 50 along the bottom row. Also, for the top row we have 17+15+18 = 50 as well.
