For this case we have the following expression:

-5 (3x + 7) -4 (x-4) +11

For simplicity we follow the steps:

We apply distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis, bearing in mind that:

- * + = -\\- * - = +\\-15x-35-4x + 16 + 11 =

We add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.

-15x-4x-35 + 16 + 11 =\\-19x-8

Answer: 19x - 8

<h3>Steps</h3>

-5(3x + 7)

Apply the distributive law: a( b + c ) = ab + ac

<u>a = </u><u>-5,</u><u> b = </u><u>3x,</u><u> c = </u><u>7</u>

= -5 * 3x + (-5) x 7

Apply minus - plus rules

<u>+(-a) = -a</u>

= -5 * 3x - 5 x 7

Simplify

-5 * 3x - 5 x 7

Multiply the numbers: 5 x 3 = 15

= -15x - 5 x 7

Multiply the numbers: 5 x 7 = 35

= -15x - 35

Plug in the values

-15x - 35 - 4(x - 4) + 11

------------------------------------------------------------------

-4(x - 4)

Apply the distributive law: a( b - c ) = ab - ac

<u>a = </u><u>-4, </u><u>b = </u><u>x, </u><u>c = </u><u>4</u>

= -4x - (-4) * 4

Apply minus - plus rules

<u>-(-a) = a</u>

= -4x + 4 * 4

Multiply the numbers: 4 * 4 = 16

= -4x + 16

Plug in the values

-15x - 35 - 4x + 16 + 11

------------------------------------------------------------------

Simplify

-15x - 35 - 4x + 16 + 11

Group like terms

= -15x - 4x - 35 + 16 + 11

Add similar elements: -15x - 4x = -19x

= -19x - 35 + 16 + 11

Add/Subtract the numbers: -35 + 16 + 11 = -8

= 19x - 8

Can three segments with length 4 cm, 6 cm, and 11 cm be assembled to form an acute triangle, a right triangle, or an obtuse tria
Aliun [14]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Three segments 4cm, 6cm, and 11cm cannot form a right triangle because if they could, then by Pythagorean theorem, 4^2 + 6^2 = 11^2, which is not true.

Moreover, the three segments cannot form an acute or obtuse triangle because by Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of two sides has to be greater than the third side. Here, (4cm + 6cm) is NOT larger than 11cm, and thus you cannot form a triangle.
