Answer:
- (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
- (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
- 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:
- -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
- -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent
Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.
1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
-(-(-)(-)(-10x)) = -5
We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.
To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.
Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."
So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :
-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5
Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.
So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.
This results in 1 × (-10x) = -5
Simplify.
-10x = -5
Now, you simply divide both sides by -10.
-10x ÷ -10 = -5 ÷ -10
Simplify.
x = 1/2

The answer will be 1/10. First you will change the denominator to the same number because you can’t mutiply fractions if the denominator is different. 5x2=10 and 2x5=10. So both of the denominator will turn into a 10. Now you’ll have to find the numerator. For the first one, multiply it by 2 because that how much the number need to turn equalvilant for the denominator. 1x2=2. So now you know that the first fraction is 2/10. Then you multiply 1 with 5 which is 5. Now the numbers all have the same denominator. Multiply 2/10 and 5/10 which is 1/10.
