Answer:

<h3>By using the distributive property the matched equivalent expressions are</h3><h3>1) -7(-4+x) =28-7x </h3><h3>2) -7(4-x) =-28+7x </h3><h3>3) 7(4+x) =28+7x </h3><h3>4) 7(-4-x) =-28-7x </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that by using the distributive property to match the given equivalent expressions.

1) Given expression is -7(-4+x)

<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>

-7(-4+x) =(-7)(-4)+(-7)(x)

=28-7x

2) Given expression is -7(4-x)

<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>

-7(4-x) =(-7)(4)+(-7)(-x)

=-28+7x

3) Given expression is 7(4+x)

<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>

7(4+x) =(7)(4)+(7)(x)

=28+7x

4) Given expression is 7(-4-x)

<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>

7(-4-x) =(7)(-4)+(7)(-x)

=-28-7x

Hence the matched equivalent expressions are

1) -7(-4+x) =28-7x

2) -7(4-x) =-28+7x

3) 7(4+x) =28+7x

4) 7(-4-x) =-28-7x

Write an equation that represents the following word problem.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Both would work.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call Jackie's apples a, then Mark has a - 4 apples. Therefore, together they have a + (a - 4) apples, and we know that they have a total of 12 apples so we can write a + (a - 4) = 12 to represent the situation. On the other hand, if Mark has a apples, then Jackie has a + 4 apples, so we can also write a + (a + 4) = 12 to represent the situation as well. Therefore, both of the equations would work. Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line described below written in slope-iWhat is the equation of the line described below written in s

horsena [70]

The equation of a line passing through point (4, -1) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y - 7 = 0 is y = -1/2x + 1

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

A line is the shortest distance between two points. The equation of a line in point-slope form and perpendicular to a line is given as;

y - y1 = -1/m(x-x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is the intercept

Given the following

Point = (4, -1)

Line: 2x-y - 7 = 0

Determine the slope

-y = -2x + 7

y= 2x - 7

Slope = 2

Substitute

y+1 = -1/2(x -4)

Write in slope-intercept form

2(y + 1) = -(x - 4)

2y+2 = -x + 4

2y = -x + 2

y = -1/2 + 1

Hence the equation of a line passing through point (4, -1) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y - 7 = 0 is y = -1/2x + 1
