Solve -2(2x+5) -3(x-1)

OLEGan [10]3 years ago

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to perform the operations and then, add like terms.

We need to apply the distributive property, which is defined by the following way:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Also, we need to remember how to add like terms. Like terms are terms that share the same exponent and the same variable, for example:

3x+5x+x^{2}=8x+x^{2}

We were able to add only the first two terms since they are like terms, both are sharing the same exponent and the same variable.

So, we are given the expression:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)

Then, solving we have:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-4x-10-(3x-3)\\\\-4x-10-(3x-3)=-4x-10-3x+3\\\\-4x-10-3x+3=-4x-3x-10+3\\\\-4x-3x-10+3=-7x-7

Hence, we have that the answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

Mumz [18]

Answer:

She can be a member for 8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months

30 + 10.5(x) = 114

30 + 10.5x = 114

10.5x = 114-30

10.5x = 84

x = 84/10.5

x = 8 mints

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

When simplified completely, the product of a monomial and a monomial is sometimesalwaysnever a monomial
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

A mononomial's variable can only have exponents 0,1,2,3 etc  so the product will also be a mononomial.
