The equivalent expression is: -2x + 10
Explanation:
You do distributive property
-2(x-5)
-2 * x = -2x
-2 * -5 = 10 because two negatives make a positive
The honda civic is the better option until 40 miles. after 40 miles the ford focus is the better driver.
honda <40
ford >40
Answer:
<u>The area of triangle DEF is equal to 8√3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, side DF is the hypothenuse to the formed right triangle ADE. As side AD has a length of 8 and side AE has a length of 4, we can substitute these values into the Pythagorean theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
8^2 + 4^2 = C^2
64 + 16 = C^2
80 = C^2
√(80) = √(C^2)
4√5 = C
This means that side DE of triangle DEF is equal to a length of 4√5, and the side DF is also equal to this length because of how squares are congruent as shown in the diagram. This means all we have to do is find the length of side EF.
As side EB and BF is equal to 4, we can create the Pythagorean theorem once again:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
4^2 + 4^2 = C^2
16 + 16 = C^2
32 = C^2
√(32) = √(C^2)
4√2 = C
Now, we have a triangle to work with! This triangle is triangle DEF and now we have to find the area of the newly defined triangle. To do this, we take the formula for the area of a triangle, A = (HB)/(2), and find values to substitute. Because we do not have height for this triangle, we have to use the Pythagorean theorem once again and hopefully for the last time!
We can bisect side EF with a perpendicular bisector to point D. By doing so, we are creating a line that can be used to solve the height of this triangle. We can now use the theorem:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
A^2 + (2√2)^2 = (4√2)^2
A^2 + 8 = 32
A^2 = 24
√(A^2) = √24
A = 2√6
Finally! We can now substitute known values into the equation A = (HB)/(2).
A = (HB)/(2)
A = [(2√6)(4√2)]/(2)
A = (16√3)/(2)
A = 8√3
<u>This means that the area of triangle DEF is equal to 8√3!</u>
6 to 5, 12 to 10, 18 to 15, 24 to 20, x to 25
Let's take a look at x/25 ratio, which has to be equal 6/5.
The answer is 30 inches.
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The first choice is the correct one, as is easily verified by putting it in the equation and evaluating:
... 6(-8-1) = 9(-8+2)
... -54 = -54
_____
You can solve the equation to get the same result.
... 6x -6 = 9x +18
... -24 = 3x . . . . . add -18-6x
... -8 = x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
