How do I solve an equation like this, one with a negative in front of parentheses?

Mathematics
1 answer:

3 0

The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.

2 - (4 - <em>x</em>) = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>

<em />

-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -<em>x</em> = <em>x</em>

<em />

2 - 4 + <em>x</em> = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>

Simplify.

-2 + <em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2

-<em>x</em> = 2

<em>x</em> = -2

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<em>x</em> = -2

Water flows from a tank with a rectangular base measuring 80cm by 70cm into another tank with a squarebase of side 60cm. If the
defon

Answer:

70cm

Step-by-step explanation:

,

Since, both of the tank posses the same quantity of water then there volume is the same thing

For rectangular base

Volume= (Lenght × breadth × hheight)

If we substitute values

Lenght= 80 cm

Breadth= 70 cm

height= 45 cm

Volume= 80cm × 70cm × 45cm

Volume= 252000cm^3

For square base

Volume= (side)^2 × height

side =60cm.

But volume of square base= volume of

rectangular base

252000cm^3= 60^2 × height

Height= (252000cm^3)/(60^2 )

Height= 70 cm

Hence, the second tank is 70 cm deep

Which products result in a difference of squares? Check all that apply.(x – y)(y – x)(6 – y)(6 – y)(3 + xz)(–3 + xz)(y2 – xy)(y2
nikitadnepr [17]

1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)

2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)

3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)

Explanation

The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).

(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)

                           = (xz + 3)(xz - 3)

                          = x²y²-3xy+3xy-9

                          =x²y² - 3²

(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²

                          = y⁴ - x²y²

(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)

                                      = 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴

                                      = 4096y⁴ - x⁴

What is the height of the cone below?<br> - 3<br> - 9<br> - 27<br> - 75
Rasek [7]

\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ \end{cases}\implies V=\pi r^2\cdot \cfrac{h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} \pi r^2=&area~of\\ &circular\\ &base\\ \cline{1-2} \stackrel{B}{\pi r^2}=&5\\ V=&45 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 45=5\cdot \cfrac{h}{3}\implies 135=5h\implies \cfrac{135}{5}=h\implies 27=h

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On each swing, she travels along an arc that is 75% as long as the previous swing's arc. The t
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
