Which expression is equivalent to (x^2 -8) - (-2x^2+4)?​

Mathematics

Answer:

D) 3x^2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.

We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.

Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":

Step 1: Distributing the negative

Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.

Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate

Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.

Thus,

x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___

*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.

Evaluating for the answer, we get,

x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12

Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.

To find a missing side of a right triangle use the Pythagorean theorem
A2+b2=c2
C is the hypotenuse (long side)
Plug into the equation
11^2+b2=12^2
121+b2=144
So subtract 144-121 to get the missing side you get 23
Take the square root
It will be 4.7
If they want it rounded
X=5
If I had any mistakes in my answer I am sorry but everything should be correct

What is 7.5% written as a fraction in simplest form
weqwewe [10]
3\4 ! you simply convert 7.5% into a fraction. (move the decimal point to the right two times. This should give you 75. Remember to put 75 over 100.
EX: 75/100
Next you must find the greatest common fact of both numbers. In this case the number is 25.
25 goes into 75 3 times. So that is your numerator or the number on top.
25 goes into 100 4 times. This will be your denominator or the number on the bottom.
Your answer should be 3/4! Make sure to show your work! good luck!
