Answer:
a = -2 and b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve for the value of "a" and "b".
We need to distribute and make the left side of the equation same form as the right side of the equation and match the coefficients, simple.
We will use the distributive property shown below to expand the left side and simplify.
<u>Distributive Property:</u> a(b-c) = ab - ac
Now, simplifying left hand side:
5x - 7(x - 1)
= 5x -7(x) -7(-1)
= 5x -7x +7
= -2x + 7
The right hand side is "ax + b".
If we match left-hand side and right-hand side, we see that:
a = -2
and
b = 7
THese are the only solution.
X=5 is a definite answer and one solution. While X greater than OR equal to 5 means that it could be 5 AND anything above 5, which gives multiple of choices for solutions. (I believe this write but it’s been awhile since I did algebra stuff)

<u />
<u>(a) What is the sum in summation notation that he uses to express the expansion?
</u>
<u>(b) Write the simplified terms of the expansion.</u>
Answer:
(a). 
(b).
Step-by-step explanation:
(a).
The binomial theorem says

For our binomial this gives

(b).
We simplify the terms of the expansion and get:



Answer:
7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
So the constant proportionality is easy, it is the depindent veriable (how much it cost) divided by the independent veriable (how much fabric you have).
Put simply you know how much it will cost if you know how many yards you have. so if i have 2 yards i know it cost 15 dolars.
We could make a simple algebraic expretion that describes the proportionality.
C⁒y=7.5
So 7.5 is our constant, so if you know the cost or how many yards we have we always know what the other is.
So if i had 6.7 yards how much would it cost.
It would cost $50.25, what i did was i multiplied 6.7*7.5(our constant) and we got out cost c. Just to dubble check we can plug it in;
50.25⁒6.7 does=7.5 so it works.
