Answer:

x = -4 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x² + 10x − 40 = -9x²

First, move the x terms to one side and the constant to the other.

5x² + 10x = 40

Divide by the leading coefficient:

x² + 2x = 8

Take half of the b coefficient, square it, then add to both sides.

(2/2)² = 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 8 + 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 9

Factor the perfect square:

(x + 1)² = 9

Solve for x:

x + 1 = ±3

x = -1 ± 3

x = -4 or 2

A game is played using ne die. If the die is rolled and shows 3, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 3,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

-$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.

- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.

- there is a charge of $9 to play the game

If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36

If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9

Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)

Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6

Thus;

E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)

E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2

E(X) = -3/2

This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5

Leftover Expression
Mumz [18]

The second leftover expression is not o(a+b). It is 6(a + b). I have attached the correct question to depict that.

Answer:

The equivalent expressions are;

8a + 2 and 6a + 6b

Step-by-step explanation:

The two leftover expressions are given as;

2(4x + 1) and 6(a + b)

In algebra, equivalent expressions are simply those expressions which when simplified, give the same resulting expression as the initial one.

Thus simply means expanding or collecting like times to make it clearer.

Now, in our question, like terms have already been collected. This means that to find an equivalent expression, we will just expand the bracket.

Thus;

2(4x + 1) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;

8x + 2

Similarly,

6(a + b) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;

6a + 6b

Thus;

The equivalent expressions are;

8a + 2 and 6a + 6b

Bill weighs 120 lbs and is gaining ten lbs each month. Phil weighs 150 lbs and is gaining four lbs each month. How many months w
vaieri [72.5K]
First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:

Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x

If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:

120+10x = 150 + 4x   [starting equation]
-120  -4x    -120 -4x    [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]

<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u>     [divide both sides by 5]
 5      5

x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.
