Answer:

3*x + 3*8 = 42 simplified as 3x + 24 = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct first step in solving the equation is to apply the distributive property. Order of operations states to perform operations in this order, PEMDAS, left to right. Some operations can be applied at the same time left to right through the equation such as multiplication and division as well as addition and subtraction. Since 3 is being multiplied into parenthesis, this needs to be applied first using the distributive property.

3(x+8)=42

3*x + 3*8 = 42

3x + 24 = 42

You can continue to solve using inverse operations.

3x = 18

x = 6

Help ASAP!! See screenshot below.

ANSWER

The relation is not a function.

EXPLANATION

The relation is not a function because we have an x-coordinate mapping on to more than one y-coordinate.

This occurs at x=1.

The ordered pairs (1,1) and (1,3) disqualify the relation from being a function.

Hence the relation is not a function.

Solve by using the quadratic formula.<br> 3psquared+7p+2=0
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-2\ or\ x=-\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula of a quadratic equation

ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

We have the equation:

3p^2+7p+2=0\to a=3,\ b=7,\ c=2

Substitute:

b^2-4ac=7^2-4(3)(2)=49-24=25\\\\\sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-7-5}{2(3)}=\dfrac{-12}{6}=-2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-7+5}{2(3)}=\dfrac{-2}{6}=-\dfrac{1}{3}
