Answer:

The given expression simplified is 48x + 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving this problem entails of simplifying the expression provided. We'll use the distributive law, or the distributive property, to write the expression in the simplest form.

Distributive law states:

a(b + c) ⟶ (a × b) + (a × c)

We know that...

a = 4

b = 12x

c = 16

Following the rules of distributive law, we can set up the expression to match this property.

a(b + c) ⟶ 4(12x + 16) ⟶ (4 × 12x) + (4 × 16)

The expression will now be easier to simplify. Here, the last step would be to multiply the terms within the parentheses. Remember that we cannot multiply a number by a variable. When you multiply '4' by '12x', just multiply twelve and four, and leave the variable as is.

(4 × 12x) + (4 × 16)

48x + (4 × 16)

48x + 64

Think back on what I mentioned earlier about not being able to multiply a number by a variable. The same rule applies to adding two terms, in which one is a constant and the other consists of a coefficient and variable. Our simplified expression has '48x', which is a coefficient and variable, and '64', which is a constant. This means we cannot add these two terms together.

Our expression seems to be in the simplest form because no further actions can be taken. The correct answer should be 48x + 64.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sharon is conducting research on two species of birds at a bird sanctuary.

The number of birds of species A is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

$S=2^x+12$

The number of birds of species B is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

$S=15x+35$

To plot the above function, first find points by which they are passing.

For species A, At x=0 , $S=1+12=13$

At x=2 , $S=2+12=14$

Similarly find more points and plot curve on graph.

For species A, At x=0 , $S=0+35=35$

At x=2 , $S=15+35=50$

Plot a line with the help of these two points.

Now, from the graph the intersection of curve (for A) and line (for B) is at (7,140) which tells that After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3: Step 1 |2x − 5| = 3 + 2 Step 2 |2x − 5| = 5 Step 3 2x − 5 = 5 or

telo118 [61]

|2x − 5| − 2 = 3
1) |2x − 5| = 3 +2
2) |2x − 5| = 5
3) 2x-5 = 5, or 2x-5= -5
4)2x=10, or 2x=0
5) x = 5 , or x = 0

Check:
 |2x − 5| − 2 = 3
|2*5− 5| − 2 = 3 or |2*0 − 5| − 2 = 3
|5|-2=3 or |-5| -2 =3
3=3 (true) or 3=3 (true)

All steps are correct.

Write a proof for the biconditional using the inverse and contrapositive.

MariettaO [177]

I don’t really understand the question at hand but let me try to help

X is equal to 4 we know this because because the sign in between the number means greater than or equal to so 3 x 4 equals 12 and that makes the equation on right true and on the left x is also equal to for which also makes the statement on the right true as well so I think X = 4

I hope I was able to help and If not I’m sorry

Estimate the cercumfrence of the circle with the given raduisor diameter. Use 3.14 for "pie". Round to the nearest unit.

tatuchka [14]

Circumference of a circle is pi x diameter (full length of the circle)

you have the radius which is half, so youd need to double it go geth the diameter.

24x2=48

and then 3.14x48=150.72
