Using the distributive property is done by multiplying the factor (outside the parentheses) to each term within it. In this case, 8(3 + 4), we multiply the 8 by 3, and then add it to the product of 8 x 4:
8(3 + 4) = 8 x 3 + 8 x 4 = 24 + 32
If we need to simplify further, this adds up to 56.
Slope of f(x)
Slope of g(x)
PART A)
The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.
PART B)
The equation for line f(x)
y = 4x + b
-1 = 4(0) + b
-1 = b
y = 4x - 1
The function G(x) has a bigger y-intercept. The y-intercept of g(x) is 3, while the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
Given:
must correctly answer 80% of the questions
correctly answered questions = 26
incorrectly answered questions = 4
unanswered questions = 15
Total questions = 26 + 4 + 15 = 45
45 * 80% = 36 required correctly answered questions.
36 - 26 = 10
Out of 15 remaining questions, 10 questions must be correctly answered for Heidi to advance to the next level.
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
5p - 3r = 1 /*2
8p + 6r = 4
__________
10p - 6r = 2
<span>8p + 6r = 4
</span>__________
10p - 6r + 8p + 6r = 2 + 4
18p = 6
p = 6/18
p = 1/3
<span>5p - 3r = 1
</span>5 * 1/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 1 = 3r
5/3 - 3/3 = 3r
2/3 = 3r
r = 2/9
(p, r) = (1/3, 2/9)
The correct result would be <span>(1/3, 2/9)</span>.
