Answer:

-2x-7y

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression -(4x+y)+2(x-3y) and we have to simplify it:

<em>Observation: -(4x+y)=(-1)(4x+y)</em>

We have to use distributive property this is: $a(x+y)=ax+ay$

Then,

$(-1)(4x+y)+2(x-3y)=\\(-1).4x+(-1).y+(2).x+(2).(-3y)=\\=-4x-y+2x-6y$

Ordering:

$-4x-y+2x-6y=\\-4x+2x-y-6y=\\=-2x-7y$

Then the simplest form of -(4x+y)+2(x-3y) is -2x-7y

Answer:

- 2x - 7y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- (4x + y) + 2(x - 3y)

Distribute both parenthesis, noting that the first is distributed by - 1

= - 4x - y + 2x - 6y ← collect like terms

= (- 4x + 2x) + (- y - 6y )

= - 2x + (- 7y) = - 2x - 7y

Stells [14]

Answer:

125 dogs and cats

Step-by-step explanation:

35 puppies make up 28% of the total dog and cat population

so 28% of the total population is 35

let x = the total population

0.28x = 35

x = 35 / 0.28

x = 125 <=== total dogs and cats

Given each of the following areas, what would be the radius of each circle? a. A = 530.66 m2 b. A = 907.46 sq. ft. c. A = 379.94

ra1l [238]

Area for a circle is $A= \pi r^2$ . We will fill in each area and then solve for the radius. $530.66m^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{530.66m^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴ $169=r^2$ and r = 13. For b, $907.46ft^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{907.46ft^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . $289=r^2$ , ∴ r = 17. For c, $379.94mi^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{379.94mi^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $121=r^2$ and r = 11. For d, $1962.5cm^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{1962.5cm^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $625=r^2$ so r = 25. And there you have it!
