Answer:

-2x - 10 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property is were you distribute (give out) this to every one

(-2 time x) + (-2 times 5) = 4

-2x - 10 = 4

now solving for x all you do is add ten to both sides --> -2x = 14

now divide by -2 to get x alone --> x = 14/-2 = X = -7

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r-----> the length of each piece

we know that

To find the length of each piece, divide the total length of the rope (22 ft) by the number of pieces (8 pieces)

$8r=22$ -----> equation that represent the situation

$r=\frac{22}{8}\ feet$ -----> the length of each piece

Find the fifth term in the sequence that is defined as follows an=n^2+2

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a(5) = 2 + 5^2 = 2 + 25 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence is defined as a(n) = 2 + n^2.

Thus, a(1) = 2 + 1^2 = 2 + 1 = 3

Then a(5) = 2 + 5^2 = 2 + 25 = 27
