Move constant over (5x=38+2), combine terms (5x=40), divide both sides by 5 (x=8)
3/5 * X = 15
3/5 ÷3/5 * X = 15 ÷ 3/5
X = 25
The total length is 25 miles
|a+b| + |c| when a= -5, b= 8, c= -13:
|-5+ 8|+ |-13|
= |3|+ 13
= 3+ 13
= 16
The correct answer is D. 16~
You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate
so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50
And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25
This way you can test all the options
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
is essentially 
(you are squaring 
, so multiplying it by itself), so to simplify, you would need to distribute.
A good way to go about this is using the F.O.I.L. method, multiplying the First numbers in the parentheses, then the Outers, then Inners, and finally, Lasts.

After doing so, you would end up with 
, and after combining like terms, 
.
To write the expression in standard form, though, just order the terms from highest to lowest power!
