Using the distributive property simplify this -2(x-3)

Mathematics

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

-2 (x-3)

By definition we have that the distributive property establishes that:

a (b + c) = ab + ac

So, if we have:

-2 (x-3)

We take into account the law of multiplication of signs:

- * + = -\\- * - = +

So:

-2 (x-3) = - 2x + 2 * 3 = -2x + 6

Answer:

-2x + 6

liraira [26]

Answer:

<em>A.) There is a 3.4% chance that a random sample of 50 expectant mothers will have a mean age of 26.5 years old or greater if the mean age for a first time mother is 26 years old.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean age for a first time mother is assumed 26 years old (null hypothesis) and <em>p-value</em> of the sample mean (26.5 years ) is found as 0.034.

This is the probability of having first time mother mean age 26.5 or greater <em>under the assumption of null hypothesis. </em>

Find one value of x that is a solution to the equation:<br>(x^2– 8)^2 + x^2 – 8 = 20<br>x=​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 + x^2 + (x^2 - 8)^2 = 20

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 56 = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 36 = 0

Substitute y = x^2:

y^2 - 15 y + 36 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(y - 12) (y - 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

y - 12 = 0 or y - 3 = 0

Add 12 to both sides:

y = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x^2 = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y = 3

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x^2 = 3

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)
