Answer:
-9x² + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, use FOIL. FOIL:
First
Outside
Inside
Last
Solve "First":
(3x)(-3x) = -9x²
Solve "Outside":
(3x)(-5) = -15x
Solve "Inside":
(-5)(-3x) = +15x
Solve "Last":
(-5)(-5) = +25
Combine like terms:
-9x² - 15x + 15x + 25
-9x² (-15x + 15x) + 25
-9x² + 25
-9x² + 25 is your answer.

Answer:
=
+ 3 ; a₁ = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ......
Note the difference in consecutive terms is constant, that is
4 - 1 = 7 - 4 = 10 - 7 = 13 - 10 = 16 - 13 = 3
Thus to obtain the next term in the sequence ( recursive formula )
Add 3 to the previous term
=
+ 3 ( with a₁ = 1 )
Answer:
Sophia gets 7,150
Step-by-step explanation:
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.
