The equivalent expression to 2s + (-4s) is -2s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In sums like these, it is easier to take the common term out of the simplification.

In the expression 2s + (-4s), the common term between 2s and -4s is the term s. So we take the term s as the common factor.

So taking s out of 2s + (-4s) we get s (2+(-4)).

Step 2:

If we multiply a positive with a negative we get a negative. S0 +(-4) = -4.

2s + (-4s) = s (2-4) = s(-2) = -2s.

So the equivalent expression to 2s + (-4s) is -2s.

The list of equations is shown in the picture which equation has No Solution, One Solution, and Infinitely Many Solutions.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have given a linear equation in one variable.

\rm \dfrac{1}{2}y + 3.2y = 20

After solving:

y = 5.40   (one solution)

\rm \dfrac{15}{2}+ 2z -\dfrac{1}{4}=4z+\dfrac{29}{4}  -2z

After solving:

\rm \dfrac{15}{2} -\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{29}{4}

\rm \dfrac{29}{4}=\dfrac{29}{4} (Infinitely Many Solutions)

3z + 2.5 = 3.2 + 3z

2.5 = 3.2  (no solution)

Similarly, we can identify which equation has No Solution, One Solution, and Infinitely Many Solutions.

Thus, the list of equations is shown in the picture which equation has No Solution, One Solution, and Infinitely Many Solutions.

Adam cut a piece of string 42 inches long into 2 pieces. The ratio of the length of the 2 peices is 3:4, what is the length, to
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!
