Answer:

6x - 24 + 20x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this because when you have an equation that you have to use the distributive property on you always do that first. So therefore if you correctly distribute the equation:

6(x - 4) + 10(2x + 3)

6x - 24 + 20x + 30

When using the distributive property, you use the term that is in front of the parenthesis and multiply the outside term by the inside term(s). Now for combining like terms you combine the terms that are similar. There are two different types of terms in this equation: constant and term with variable. However, there are 4 total terms in this equation. If you correctly combine your like terms you should get this:

26x + 6

I got this by combining the two terms 6x and 20x. They both have the variable 'x' therefore they are like terms. I also combined the two like terms -24 and 30.

I hope this is helpful!

Points (3,2) and (-5,6) are endpoints of the diameter of a circle.

vichka [17]

Answer:

A.8 B.(-1,4) C.(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, know that (3,2)=(x1,y1) and (-5,6)=(x2,y2)

A. The diameter is 8, given the diference between x1 and x2: 3-(-5)=8

B. The center point is given by (x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2

(x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2 = (3-5)/2 and (2+6)/2 = (-1,4)

C. The symmetric point of C about the x-axis is (1,4)

Amy spends 30% of her money on a

ioda

Answer:

£2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Badly worded, as they oftena are! But to me it means

30% spent

60% saved (I.e also taken away and put somewhere else)

10% leftover equals 20p

So 20p equals 10% of what she originally had, so 100% must be £2.00, does that make sense?

What is the measure of ∅? A. 2.5 π radians B. 2.5 radians C. 4 radians D. 5 radians

natka813 [3]

Answer:

C. 4 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

$20=\frac{\pi (Ctrl.Angle)(5)}{180}$

Ctrl Angle = ∅

∅ = $\frac{(20)(180)}{5\pi } =\frac{3600}{5\pi } =\frac{720}{\pi }$

in radians:

∅ = $\frac{720}{180} =4$

Hope this helps
