Explanation:

Right now, we are given: \frac{b}{-8} =-2.

\frac{b}{-8} is basically b divided by -8. In order to solve for b, we need to "undo" the division part - and to do so, we use the opposite of division, which is multiplication.

So, we would multiply both sides by -8: \frac{b}{-8} *-8=-2*(-8)

On the left, when we multiply by -8, the -8 we multiplied and the -8 in the denominator cancel out, so we're just left with b. On the right side, it's simply the multiplication of -2 by -8. Here, since we have two negative numbers, the negatives cancel out to become a positive product, and 2 * 8 = 16. So, -2 * -8 = 16.

As you did not want the answer, I will not say explicitly the actual answer, but hopefully you can figure it out from my explanation above!

Answer:

Solve by multiplying -8 on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

b

___ =     -2

-8

once you multiply -8 on both sides, the -8 would cancel on the left leaving you with

b =  -2(-8)

Solve :)

The bases in a major league diamond are locate at the corners of a 900 yd^2 square as pictures below. a player throws a baseball
Licemer1 [7]
To answer this, you will use the area of 900 square yards to determine the distances between the bases.  Each side of the square is 30 yards, so it will be 30 yards from 1st to home and from 1st to 2nd.  

The distance from home to 2nd is a diagonal in the square (the hypotenuse).

You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this distance.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 30 ^2 = c^2
900 + 900 + c^2
1800 = c^2

The square root of 1800 is approximately 42.4 yards.

The ball travels approximately 42.4 yards.

Find the values for a and b that would make the equality true.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a = - 4, b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side, then compare the coefficients of like terms.

- 3(2x² + ax + b)

= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b, compare to - 6x² + 12x - 15

Compare coefficients of x- terms

- 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

a = - 4

Compare constant terms

- 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

b = 5

Simplify this expression : 2x(x-1)-3x^2-(5x-4)
Setler [38]

Answer:

-x^2 - 7x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x - 1) - 3x^2 - (5x - 4)

= 2x^2 - 2x - 3x^2 - 5x + 4

Adding like terms, we get:-

-x^2 - 7x + 4   (answer).
