Answer: -47 - 48x

Step-by-step explanation: When you first take a look at this problem, it's tempting to want to subtract -7 - 8 to get -15 and then distribute the -15 through the parentheses.

You wouldn't want to subtract however before you distribute because the distributive property is a form of multiplication and remember from your order of operations that multiplication comes before subtraction.

So the first thing you want to do here is distribute and change the minus sign in front of the -8 to plus a negative 8 so that you know you are distributing a -8 through your parentheses.

So we have -7 + -8 times 6x which is -42x + -8 times 5 which is -40.

Now we have -7 + -48x + -40.

Now just combine your like terms. -7 + -40 is -47 and plus a negative 48x can be written as -48x so we have -47 - 48x.

So your answer is just -47 - 48x.

If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length r?

Vladimir79 [104]

You can set up a ratio problem

take what you know and set it equal to what you don't know

4/6 = r/15

Cross multiply and get:

60 = 6r

divide by 6

r = 10

If 25 students took an exam and 4 of them failed, what percent of them passed?

lisabon 2012 [21]

If 25 students took an exam and 4 of the students that took the exam failed, what percent of the students passed?

To find out how many students passed, we can subtract 4 from 25 and we will get a difference of 21.

The fraction $\frac{21}{25}$ represents the number of students who passed the exam out of all the students.

To find out what percent of the students passed, we can turn $\frac{21}{25}$ into a percent.

21 ÷ 25 = 0.84

0.84 × 100 = 84%

Therefore, 84% of the students who took the exam passed.
