Answer:

He drive <u>1,400 miles</u> last month all together.

So, option <u>B) 1,400</u> is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Alex has a truck. 42% of the miles he drove last month were for work.

If Alex drove 588 miles for work.

Now, to find miles he drive last month all together.

Let the miles he drive last month all together be x.

42% of the miles he drove last month were for work.

Alex drove 588 miles for work.

Now, to get the miles he drive last month all together we put an equation:

42\%\ of\ x=588

\frac{42}{100} \times x=588

0.42\times x=588

0.42x=588

<em>Dividing both sides by 588 we get:</em>

x=1400\ miles.

Therefore, he drive 1,400 miles last month all together.

So, option B)  1,400 is the correct answer.

Which expressions are equivalent to 2 (three-fourths x + 7) minus 3 (one-half x minus 5)? Check all that apply.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression given in the text is

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)  (1)

And we want to check to what other expressions is equivalent. First of all, we solve it by writing explicitely each term:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15 (2)

Let's verify each of the other expressions separately. For the first one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

We see that this is equivalent to expression (1), since the first half is identical, while in the second one, the combination "+-" can be simply written as "-", so we get

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)

Which is equivalent to (1).

For the 2nd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+3(\frac{1}{2}x)+3(-5)

This is not equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property to each term: however, the 3rd and 4th term are not correct, because the (3) must be negative (-3), as in the original expression.

If we write it explicitely in fact, we get

\frac{3}{2}x+14+\frac{3}{2}x-15

Which is different from (2).

For the 3rd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

This one is equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property correctly. By solvign each term we get:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15

PLEASE HELP?!

The middle point of BC is (0,2), the midpoint of CD is (1,0)
to prove two lines are parallel, prove their slopes are the same.
slope of BD: m=rise/run=4/-2=-2 (the run is negative because to get to B from D on the grid, you have to move from right to left, then upward. If the horizontal move is from left to right, the run is positive)
slope of EG: m=rise/run=2/-1=-2 
EG and BD have the same slope, so they are parallel.
