Answer:

Infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 5 to the numbers inside the parenthesis.

5 × 4=20

5 × -x=-5x

-5x+20.

They are the same.

-5x+20=-5x+20

Add 5x on both sides:

-5x+5x+20=-5x+5x+20

20=20

So there are infinite solutions.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(4-x)=-5x+20

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

-5(4-x)=-5x+20

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+(-20+5x)=-5x+20

Remove unnecessary parentheses

-20+5x=-5x+20

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+5x+5x=+20+20

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+10x=+40

We divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get x.

x=4

How many different ways are there to choose a subset of the set {1,2,3,4,5,6} so that the product of the members of the subset i

zvonat [6]

You have to pick at least one even factor from the set to make an even product.

There are 3 even numbers to choose from, and we can pick up to 3 additional odd numbers.

For example, if we pick out 1 even number and 2 odd numbers, this can be done in

$\dbinom 31 \dbinom 32 = 3\cdot3 = 9$

ways. If we pick out 3 even numbers and 0 odd numbers, this can be done in

$\dbinom 33 \dbinom 30 = 1\cdot1 = 1$

way.

The total count is then the sum of all possible selections with at least 1 even number and between 0 and 3 odd numbers.

$\displaystyle \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom 3e \sum_{o=0}^3 \binom 3o = 2^3 \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom3e = 8 \left(\sum_{e=0}^3 \binom3e - \binom30\right) = 8(2^3 - 1) = \boxed{56}$

where we use the binomial identity

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk 1^{n-k} 1^k = (1+1)^n = 2^n$

1 (-2,2) Write the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the poi

lozanna [386]

Answer:

y = -5x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the points (-5,-4) and (0,-3) plug them into this formula to get the slope.

$\frac{y2 - y1 }{x2 - x1}$

Now plug in your points

$\frac{-3 - (-4)}{0 - (-5)} \\\\\frac{1}{5}$

Since you're slope is 1/5 the slope of the perpendicular line is going to be the totally opposite -5 is the slope of the perpendicular line.

Now plug in -5 and the point (-2,2) into y = mx + b to get the y-intercept

2 = -5(-2) + b (b represents the y-intercept)

2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)

-8 = b

The perpendicular line looks like this y = -5x - 8

Hope this helps ya! Keep smiling!
