Mathematics

Answer:

3(1+7a+5b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive law states that

a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c.

The expression 3+21a+15b consists of three terms:

  1. 3=3·1;
  2. 21a=3·7a;
  3. 15b=3·5b.

You can see that 3 is the common factor of these three terms, thus

3+21a+15b=3(1+7a+5b).

Which expression is 8y - 5x + 13y equivalent to after being simplified?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
You combine like terms like 8y+13y which gives you 21y and don't forget the -5x so your simplified equation would end up being A. 21 - 5x

You purchase a car using a $20,000 loan with a 5% simple interest rate.
hammer [34]
Simple interest = Cost Price + (Interest Percentage of Cost Price × number of years or months we are paying off)

a) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + £4000 = £24 000

b) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + £3000 = £23 000

£24 000 - £23 000 = £1000 that you saved!

I need help with #11 and #12 how do I do this?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

  11. x = 6; y = 6.5

  12. x = 2; y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In each figure, the hash marks on the lines indicate the parallel lines (marked with red arrows) are equally-spaced. That means the two expressions involving x are equal to each other, and the two expressions involving y are equal to each other.

__

11. 2x +1 = x +7

  x = 6 . . . . . . . subtract (x+1) from both sides

and

  3y -8 = y +5

  2y = 13 . . . . add (8-y) to both sides

  y = 6.5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

__

12. x +3 = 3/2x +2

  1 = 1/2x . . . . . subtract (x+2)

  2 = x . . . . . . . multiply by 2

and

  2y -1 = 3y -5

  4 = y . . . . . . add (5 -2y)
