Yes, 4(x-2) is 4 times x-2 which using the distributive property gives you 4x-8 because 4 times x is 4x and 4 times -2 is -8 so you would always get 4x-8 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Tax= $ 7,173.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Her taxable income is $ 43,000 which lies in the tax category $ 31,850 to
$ 77,100.
Tax for $ 31,850 is $ 4,386
Plus 25% of the amount = ( $ 43,000- $ 31,850 )= $ 11,150 over
25 % of $ 11,150= $ 2,787.5
Total Tax= $ 4386 + $ 2787.5= $ 7,173.5
Step-by-step explanation:
yes
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
113.04 cm 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the formula to find the area of a circle is 

And we are told to use 3.14 instead of pi so what we have now is,

We are also told the radius, r, is 6. So our equation now looks like this,
 is the same as 36, because 6x6 is 36.
is the same as 36, because 6x6 is 36.
Now we have,
 
   
Which equals 113.04 and that is the area!
Hope that helps and have a great day!
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one: 
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere  from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine  131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows  when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers  need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664 
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664  = -2.302585 / -0.08664  = 26.58 days 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: The ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven: At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt. The variable sss models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) t weeks after the beginning of spring. 
At t=0, 
So, Thickness of ice sheet at the beginning = 4 meters
Now at t= 6, we get

Thickness of ice sheet after 6 weeks = 2.5 meters
Decrease in thickness = 4 meters - 2.5 meters = 1.5 meters
Hence, the ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters
