Write an equivalent expression for: 3(x-2) + 4(2x-3) Explain the steps you follow to find the equivalent expression.

1 answer:

3 0

3(x-2)+4(2x-3)
Use distributive property
3(x)-3(2)+4(2x)-4(3)
=3x-6+8x-12
Combining like term
3x+8x-6-12
=11x-18. As a result, 11x-18 is another expression that equivalent for 3(x-2)+4(2x-3). Hope it help!

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Solution:

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

$y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650$

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Next number in sequence 3 -6 12 4 20 ?

Artyom0805 [142]

-6 - 3 = -9
12 - (-6) = 18
4 - 12 = -8
20 - 4 = 16
The first difference is -9. The third difference is -8.
Maybe the fifth difference is -7.
That makes the next term 13.

3, -6, 12, 4, 20, 13
