Answer:

B. 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need to expand the expression, 3x + 2(x - 1) - 4

1) expand the brackets first (laws of arithmetic), 3x + 2x - 2 - 4

2) Simplify and you will get 5x - 6 which is option B

Answer:

A. 3x +2(x - 1) -4 and B. 5x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the answers is letter A because its the same exact expression as stated in the question. The other answer is B because of the distribution property you multiple x by 2 and multiply -1 by 2. This now gives us the expression 3x+2x-2-4. Now we add/subtract like terms and that gives the the answer 5x-6. I hope this helps.

The space diagonal will have length ...

... d = √(1² +4² +2²) = √(1 +16 +4) = √21

_____

This can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. A drawing can help. Find the length of any face diagonal, then use that length as the leg of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the space diagonal and whose other leg is the edge length not used in the first calculation.

Check that 2b+b and 3b have the same value when b is 1,2, and 3. Do 2b+b and 3b have the same value for all values of b? Explain

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Expression 2b+b and 3b have same values for all values of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two expression $2b+b$ and $3b$ and values of b as 1, 2 and 3.

Consider first expression that is, $2b+b$ .

Substituting the value of $b=1$ ,

$2\left(1\right)+\left(1\right)=2+1=3$ ....1

Substituting the value of $b=2$ ,

$2\left(2\right)+\left(2\right)=4+2=6$ ....2

Substituting the value of $b=3$ ,

$2\left(3\right)+\left(3\right)=6+3=9$ ....3

Consider second expression that is, $3b$ .

Substituting the value of $b=1$ ,

$3\left(1\right)=3$ ....4

Substituting the value of $b=2$ ,

$3\left(2\right)=6$ ....5

Substituting the value of $b=3$ ,

$3\left(3\right)=9$ ....6

For value of b=1, equation 1 and equation 4 are same, for value of b=2, equation 2 and equation 5 are same and for value of b=3 equation 3 and equation 6 are same.

Therefore both expression are same for all values of b.

I. Tell whether each statement is TRUE or FALSE. Refer to the figure below. Write your answer on the space provided.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1. TRUE

2. TRUE

3. TRUE

4. TRUE

5. FALSE

6. TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

1. From the diagram, we have that m∠2 and m∠7 are alternate interior angles

If m∠2 = 70° and m∠7 = 70°, then we have;

m∠2 = 70° = m∠7

m∠2 = m∠7

Therefore, the alternate interior angles of the lines l₁, and l₂ are equal, and therefore, the lines l₁ and l₂ are parallel, l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

2. If m∠3 = 90° and m∠7 = 90°, therefore, the angle formed by the intersection of l₃ and l₂ = 90°

Therefore l₃ ⊥ l₂

TRUE

3. m∠5 and m∠7 are corresponding angles

If m∠5 = 85° and m∠7 = 85°, then, m∠5 = m∠7

Therefore, the corresponding angles formed by the lines l₁ and l₂ are equal, therefore;

l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

4. Whereby we have, m∠1 = m∠5, we get;

m∠1 + m∠5 = 180° by sum of angles on a straight line

∴ m∠1 + m∠5 = m∠1 + m∠1 = 2·m∠1 = 180°

m∠1 = 180°/2 = 90°

∴ m∠1 = 90° = m∠5, and l₃ ⊥ l₁

TRUE

5. m∠1 and m∠8 are alternate exterior angles

If m∠1 = 98° and m∠8 = 82°

∴ m∠1 ≠ m∠8 and l₁ ∦ l₈

FALSE

6. Given that l₁║ l₂, then the angle formed between l₁ and l₃ will be equal to th angle formed between l₂ and l₃

Therefore;

If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ ⊥ l₁, then l₃ ⊥ l₂

(If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ is perpendicular to l₁, then l₃ is also perpendicular to l₂)

TRUE

Which expression could help you find the distance between (10, 4) and (–6, 4)?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression could help you find the distance between A(x; y) and B(x',y')is:

AB = √((x-x')²+(y-y')²)

in this exercise : x = 10

x' = - 6

y =4

y' = 4
