Answer:
2x² - 6x
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x² - 4x + 8) + (- x² - 2x - 8) ← remove both parenthesis
= 3x² - 4x + 8 - x² - 2x - 8 ← collect like terms
= 2x² - 6x
Answer:
<em>p</em> = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Happy to help.
When we have numbers in parenthesis, we generally want to deal with those first. However, we can hit a rough patch when a variable is in there. Consider this:
2(3 + 4) = 2(7), or 14.
But, the two can also be distributed into both numbers in the parenthesis, like this:
2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4
That leaves us with the same answer—14! We can apply this to a variable, and that will help us figure out 9(<em>p</em> - 4), or the left side of your equation you presented.
9(<em>p</em> - 4) = -18
9*<em>p</em> - 9*4 = -18
9<em>p</em> - 36 = -18
Add 36 on both sides to isolate the variable (in this case, <em>p)</em>
9<em>p</em> = -18 + 36
You can also write it like this; 9<em>p</em> = 36 - 18
9<em>p</em> = 18
Divide 9 to isolate <em>p</em>
<em>p</em> = 2
So, we would get (<em>p</em> = 2). Make sure to practice a few more questions like these to really get the hang of it—you'll be using this a lot in the future!
Good luck!
<span>49 + 28 = 7(7 + 4)
In a distributive property you need to multiply a term by two or more terms in a </span><span>parentheses. So we cancel B and C.
Then you have to choose which one out of A or B will and up with the same answer as 49+ 28. </span>
Answer:
mean = sum of the terms/total no. of terms
mean = (16+12+13+22)/4
mean = 63/4 or 15.75
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug 4 in for d and 3 in for c
5d-2/3c
5(4)-2/3(3)
Multiply in the numerator and the denominator
20-2/9
Subtract in the numerator
18/9
2
Hope this helps! :)
