(t + 8) (-2) = 12

Distributive property >>> -2t + -16 = 12

Inverse operation >>>> -2t + -16+16 = 12+16

Simplify >>>> -2t = 28

Divide >>>> -2t/-2 = 28/-2

Final answer >>>> t = -14

the measurements of a photo and it's frame are shown in the diagram. Write a polynomial that represents the width of the photo.

suter [353]

Answer:

The width of the photo is $4w^2+6w+4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is notices that the total width of the frame is

$6w^2+8$

The photo is covered by a frame border and the width of the border is

$w^2-3w+2$

To find the width of the photo we have to subtract the width of upper frame border and lower frame border from the total width of frame.

Width of the photo is

$\text{Width of the photo}=\text{Width of the frame}-2(\text{Width of the frame border})$

$\text{Width of the photo}=6w^2+8-2(w^2-3w+2)$

$\text{Width of the photo}=6w^2+8-2w^2+6w-4$

$\text{Width of the photo}=4w^2+6w+4$

Therefore the width of the photo is $4w^2+6w+4$ .

Find an equation of the line perpendicular to y=4x+5 and that passes through the point (0,-1)

iragen [17]

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 5

The slope of this is 4 so the slope of line perpendicular to this line = -1/4.

Using the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1):

y - (-1) = -1/4(x - 0)

y + 1 = -1/4x

y = -1/4x - 1.

Your friend has $90 when he goes to the fair. He spends $5 to enter the fair and $15 on food. Rides at the fair cost $1.50 per r

ra1l [238]

Answer:

-1.5x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money he takes while going to the fair = $90

Money he spends to enter the fair = $5

Money he spends on food =$15

Total he spent now is given by

Now, he spend on rides at the fair i.e. 1.50 per ride .

Let the number of rides be x

So, cost incurred on rides = 1.5x

So, the spending money can be expressed as

Now, remaining money left to him after spending on x rides too is

Let f(x) denotes the function used to determine the money he has left over after rides .

So it becomes

f(x) = 70 - 1.50x

f (x) = -1.50x +70
