You must replace x with -5 and solve using the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) REMEMBER: IF NOT APPLICABLE TO THE EQUATION YOU MAY SKIP THAT STEP IN PEMDAS .

5(-5) + 40

Multiplication...

5 * -5 = -25

-25 + 40

Addition...

When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number. In this case the largest number is 40 and its sign is positive. Your answer will have a posititve sign.

-25 + 40 ----> 40 - 25 = 15

-25 + 40 = 15

Hope this helped!

What is the simplified form of the quantity of x plus 6, all over the quantity of x plus 4 + the quantity of x minus 3, all over

Rina8888 [55]

$\frac{x+6}{x+4} +\frac{x-3}{3}$

make denomenators the same

we have
x+4 and 3
times the fraction with x+4 in denomenator with the fraction 3/3
times the fraction with 3 in denomenator with the fraction x+4
we get
$\frac{3x+18}{3x+12} +\frac{x^2+x-12}{3x+12}$
since common denoms, can add them to get
$\frac{3x+18+x^2+x-12}{3x+12}$
$\frac{x^2+4x+6}{3x+12}$
that is simplified

If 10 cups of ice cream are separated into 1/5 cup sample serving how many samples can be served

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

50 Samples

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total cups of ice cream (10) by the sample amount (1/5)

$\frac{10}{\frac{1}{5} }$

10 ÷ 1/5

Use the keep change flip rule.

$\frac{10}{1}*\frac{5}{1} = 50$

AABC is reflected across the x-axis and then dilated by a factor of 2 using the

Hitman42 [59]

The transformation of A is A' = (8, -3)

<h3>How to determine the transformation?</h3>

From the graph, we have:

A = (3,1)

The scale factor and the center of dilation are given as:

k = 2

(a,b) = (-2,1)

The rule of reflection across the axis is:

(x,y) ⇒ (x,-y)

So, we have:

A' = (3,-1)

The rule of dilation is represented as:

(x,y) ⇒ (k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b)

So, we have:

A' = (2(3 + 2) - 2, 2(-1 - 1) + 1)

Evaluate

A' = (8, -3)

Hence, the transformation of A is A' = (8, -3)
