Answer:

12a+2b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-2(4a-5b)20a−8b−2(4a−5b)

2. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-(8a-10b)20a−8b−(8a−10b)

3. Remove parentheses.

20a-8b-8a+10b20a−8b−8a+10b

4.Collect like terms.

(20a-8a)+(-8b+10b)(20a−8a)+(−8b+10b)

5. Simplify.

12a+2b12a+2b

The answer is 12a+2b

That is the answer because:
Following the distributive property
4*5a=20a
4*-2b=-8b
-2*4a=-8a
-2*-5b=10a
So now you have
20a-8b-8a+10a
So combine like terms
12a+2b

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Large \boldsymbol{} f(x) \ \ inverse \ \ function \ \ (f(x))^{-1} \\\\ y=7x+5 \\\\x=7y+5 \\\\ y=\dfrac{x-5}{7} \ \ or \ \ f(x)^{-1}= \dfrac{x-5}{7}$

Is .21 (with only the one repeating) a rational number? please explain why! thanks!

Nostrana [21]

21 is a rational number because it is an integer, which can be converted into a fraction.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When a denominater and numerator are integers and gives a quotient then it is a rational number.

21/1, where 21 is denominator and 1 is numerator the quotient is 21. Therefore 21 is a rational number which can also be considered as a ratio.
