−4(x−5)+3(a−7)

Distribute:

=(−4)(x)+(−4)(−5)+(3)(a)+(3)(−7)

=−4x+20+3a+−21

Combine Like Terms:

=−4x+20+3a+−21

=(3a)+(−4x)+(20+−21)

=3a+−4x+−1

The coordinate (1,3) is a solution to 2x-3y=-7<br><br> True <br><br> False
Natalija [7]
True because just plug in (1,3) for x and y and solve it out.
Plugging it in gives you 2(1)-3(3)=-7 which simplifies to 2-9=-7, which is true.

What’s the answer and could you explain it
Nadusha1986 [10]
The answer is B.   Because there are 8 ribbons in all. 1 ribbon is black. so the equation would be 1/8. Assuming you don't draw the black ribbon on the first try, then you would try again. The second time you draw a ribbon you don't put the ribbon you drew back in. That means there are only 7 ribbons the second time. The 1 black ribbon is still in the bag than the equation would be 1/7. Then you add the two together. So it would be 1/8 + 1/7 = 1/15. Remember to only add the bottom numbers. not the top ones unless they are different colors or objects.

Carl collects coins compulsively, but he only likes quarters ($0.25) and dimes ($0.10). Carl currently has 125 coins for a total
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Carl has 35 dimes and 90 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of quarters be q and the number of dimes be d

Total number of coins is 125;

Hence;

q + d = 125 •••••••••(i)

The total value of quarters present = q * 0.25 = 0.25q

The total value of dimes present = d * 0.1 = 0.1d

Adding both gives the total

0.25q + 0.1d =26 ••••••••(ii)

So we need to solve both equations simultaneously;

From i,

q = 125 - d

Substitute this into ii

0.25(125-d) + 0.1d = 26

31.25 -0.25d + 0.1d = 26

31.25 -26 = 0.25d -0.1d

5.25 = 0.15d

d = 5.25/0.15

d = 35

Recall; q = 125 - d = 125 -35 = 90
