Simplify the expression b - 7 + b - 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
natulia [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

2b - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

b - 7 + b - 8  

You combined the two b's correctly, but didn't combine the two constants, -7 and -8.  

Those combine to   -7 + (-8)  = -7 - 8  = -15,  so the final answer is

2b - 15

you have -7 and are subtracting 8 more, so you are moving 8 units left on the number line, so it has to get more negative.

How can i learn times faster like 3's til 12's in Times i have a hard time in my times can someone tell me how i can learn them
iogann1982 [59]
To get better at 12's:
Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0    0 = 12 x0
1    2 = 12 x1
2    4 = 12 x2
3    6 = 12 x3
4    8 = 12 x4
6    0 = 12 x5
7    2 = 12 x6
8    4 = 12 x7
9    6 = 12 x8
10  8 = 12 x9
12  0 = 12 x10
13  2 = 12 x 11
14  4 = 12 x 12

Find x. Assume that segments that appear tangent are tangent.
kipiarov [429]
Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:

20^2=12^2+x^2

400=144+x^2

x^2=400-144

x^2=256

x=16
