3 0

Answer:

168

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to multiply these two expressions together and then substitute -2 in for x to solve.

f(x) * g(x) = (8 - 10x) * (5x + 4)

We will use FOIL (first, outer, inner last):

(8 - 10x) * (5x + 4) = 8 * 5x + 8 * 4 + (-10x) * 5x + (-10x) * 4

Combining terms, we get:

f(x) * g(x) = 32 - 50x²

Plug -2 in for x:

32 - 50 * (-2)² = 32 - 50 * 4 = 32 - 200 = -168

The answer is thus 168.

The midpoint of AB is (3,2). If point is is located at(8,4) what are the coordinates of point B

Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

8-3 = 5,

3-5 = -2 = the x coordinate of B

-2-4 =-6,

-2-6 =-8 = the y coordinate of B

(-2,-8) is the point B

A is 5 to the right of the midpoint, so B is 5 to the left of the midpoint

A is 6 up from the midpoint so B is 6 down from the midpoint

Four times one number minus three times another number is 12. Two times the first number added to three times to the second numb

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number, y = second number

4x - 3y = 12

2x + 3y = 6

------------------add

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

4x - 3y = 12

4(3) - 3y = 12

12 - 3y = 12

-3y = 12 - 12

-3y = 0

y = 0

solution : (3,0)

There are 3 consecutive integers that add up to 9 which integers are they?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

The integers are 2,3,4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one integer be = $x$

Since, the integers are consecutive, so they will increase by one.

So, 2nd integer will be = $x+1$

3rd integer will be = $x+1+1=x+2$

It is given that the 3 integers add up to 9.

So, we have the sum equation as:

$x+x+1+x+2=9$

Solving for $x$

Combining like terms.

$3x+3=9$

Subtracting both sides by 3.

$3x+3-3=9-3$

$3x=6$

Dividing both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{6}{3}$

$x=2$

∴ 1st integer = $2$

2nd integer = $2+1 = 3$

3rd integer = $2+2 = 4$
