Answer:

C. 8x – 38

Step-by-step explanation:

he equation.

All the options have the parenthesis solves, with all the numbers distribute, so first, you need to do that.

3(x – 6) + 5(x – 4)=

(3*x) - (3*6) + (5*x) -(4*5)=

now, solve what you can

3*x=3x\\3*6=18\\5*x=5x\\4*5=20

And put it all together

3x - 18 + 5x - 20

You can link the X therms and the no X terms

(3x + 5x) =8x\\(-18 - 20) =-38

And the final equation is: 8x - 38

The answer is C.

3(x-6)+5(x-4) = 3•x+3•-6 = 3x-18  and  5•x+5•-4 = 5x-20

3x-18+5x-20

3x+5x = 8x  and  -18+-20 = -38

<u>Which gives you...</u>

8x-38

What are the factors of x2 – 4x – 5? Check all that apply. x – 5 x – 2 x – 1 x + 1 x + 2 x + 5
vovangra [49]
1. x^{2} -4x-5 is a 2nd degree polynomial, so if it can be factorize, it can be factorized into two 1st degree polynomials:

x^{2} -4x-5=(x-a)(x-b)

2. consider the factorized expression. If we factorized back we would get:

(x-a)(x-b)=xx-bx-ax+ab= x^{2} -(a+b)x+ab

3. So x^{2} -4x-5=x^{2} -(a+b)x+ab

comparing the coefficients, we see that 
a+b=4 and ab=-5. 

From ab=-5, a is either 5 (b=-1) or a is -5 (b=1). Together with the condition a+b=4, we see that the right choice is a=5 and b=-1

4. so x^{2} -4x-5=(x-a)(x-b)=(x-5)(x-(-1))=(x-5)(x+1)

5. The factors are x-5 and x+1

Answer:

Option 4, bottom right

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking the the y-intercept, it can only be option 2 or 4 with a y-intercept of 3. Looking at the data you can see that the slope is decreasing, therefore out of the 2 the answer is the one with the decreasing/negative slope.

pA carnival sold tickets for $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for students. There were 54 tickets sold for a total of $70.50. Write a
galben [10]

Answer:

  • x + y = 54
  • 1.50x +1.00y = 70.50
  • x = 33; y = 21
  • 33 adult tickets and 21 student tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

For such problems, it is convenient to write one equation for the total number of tickets sold

  x + y = 54

and another equation for the total revenue collected from the sales

  1.50x + 1.00y = 70.50

These equations are conveniently solved by eliminating the variable representing the lowest-price tickets (y). Here, we can simply subtract the first equation from the second:

  (1.50x +1.00y) -(x + y) = (70.50) -(54)

  0.50x = 16.50 . . . . simplify

  x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  y = 54 -x = 21 . . . . . find the value of y

Given the definitions of the variables, (x, y) = (33, 21) means 33 adult ticket and 21 student tickets were sold.
