The answer is 18. The two sides are the same length, so you set the two sides equal to each other and solve for x. After finding x, you plug in the number into the base expression and you get the base length.

Find the Product and Combine similar terms.<br>1. -1(7+4b) =<br>2. x(x²–2xy+y²) =<br>3. -5x(-3+x) =​
sergejj [24]
-1(7+4b) - distribute the -1 to the expression
(-1 * 7) + (-1 * 4b) — ( + and - = - )when it is multiplied
= -7 - 4b — there is no like term to added to subtracted so it will stay as like

x(x^2 - 2xy+y^2) distribute x to all
= x(x^2) - x(2xy) + x(y^2)
= x^3 - 2x^2y + xy^2 in multiplication exponent add to similar variable
No like term to connect

-5x(-3+x)
= -5x(-3) -5x(+x). (- and - is +)
= 15x -5x. similar variable x so connect the like connect like term by subtracting them
= 10x

I will like to know how to solve this
Alexxandr [17]
This is a linear equation in x.

So you need to group like terms

1 + 4x =  - 5 + 7x
Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.

1 + 5 = 7x - 4x
We can now simplify

6 = 3x
Now let us divide both sides by 3.

\frac{6}{3}  =  \frac{3x}{3}

This implies that

2 = x
or

x = 2
Let us our answer

1 + 4(2) =  - 5  + 7(2)

1 + 8 =  - 5 + 14
9 = 9
Good we are right
