17(x + 5)

to find a equivalent expression, simplify this one

distribute the 17 to both x and 5 (distributive property)

17(x) = 17x
17(5) = 85

17x + 85 is your simplified and equivalent expression

hope this helps

On the ceiling of a cavern, a stalactite grows downward

Tcecarenko [31]

The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart.

let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120

We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120 Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120 Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000

The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years
