Answer:
Overall vertical is visually better, if done correctly
it forces you to "line up" all the common exponents.
The disadvantage is that it usually requires re-writing the problem, and it takes up space.
most problems are presented horizontally, that becomes the issue to locate the common exponents.
in both cases the biggest issue is people forget
that when subtracting "subtracting a negative is like adding a positive"
-5x - (-8x) = 3x [that is a positive 3x]
or:
-7x
- - 10x
-------------
3x
everyone misses those eventually so you have to watch out for that in both methods
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
F(x)=-x^2-4x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
According to PEMDAS, do the exponent part for the parentheses, sense it goes first.
F(x)= -(x^2+4x+4)+3
Then distribute the - sign
F(x)= -x^2-4x-4+3
Then you simplify
F(x)= -x^2-4x-1
To find the mean you add all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are :
8+16+12+11+8=55
in the equation there are 5 numbers, so you divide 55 by 5 :
55÷5=11
the mean is 11
hope this helps
Answer:
It has no solution because, 14x cancels out -14x when you move the variables to the left and leaves the equation as 0 = -12, however we know that 0 does not equal -12 which means this solution is false; therefore this equation has no solution since 0 does not equal -12.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 4x - 7 - 10x = -8x - 4 - 6x - 10 (Given)
-2 - 14x = -14x - 14 (Combine like terms)
0 = -12 (Move variables(x) to the left and the constants to the right)
Answer:
548, 297
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set this up as a system of equations. The first equation is for how many tickets were sold, which is x+y=845. The second equation is for the cost of the tickets, which is 3x+5.5y=3277.50. The best method for this problem (other than graphing) is elimination. First, we need to multiply one equation to get the opposite of one of the variables. The easiest one to do for this problem is x. The opposite of 3 is -3, so we have to multiply ALL of the first equation by -3. If you do this, then you get -3x-3y=-2535. Now, combine the equations:
3x + 5.5y = 3277.50
-3x -3y = -2535
________________
0x+2.5y=742.5
Now, isolate y by dividing both sides by 2.5. If you do this, you get y=297. Now, plug this in for the y in the first equation. Isolate x.
x+297=845
-297 -297
__________
0 548
x=548
Hope this helps!
