Use distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to each expression. 8(-x-1/2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The distributive property teaches us how to properly multiply in examples like the answer I have given.

In my example : 2 * (4 + 12x) = 8 + 24x

We would take the 2 that is on the outside of the equation in the parenthesis and multiply it first with the 4, and then with the 12x. This results in 8 + 24x.  

A simplified version would be to just remove the x.  

When we do that we see that 8 + 24 is equal to 32.

What it also demonstrates is that:

2 * (4 + 12) is the same as saying 8 + 24, both equal 32.

<h2><em>so saying that you have to find something to be equal to your equation. hope it helps.</em></h2>

What is the value of x in the equation shown below<br> 0.75x + 3 = 6(x - 3)
EleoNora [17]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation: 0.75x+3=6(x−3)

0.75x+3=(6)(x)+(6)(−3)

0.75x+3=6x+−18

0.75x+3=6x−18

0.75x+3−6x=6x−18−6x

−5.25x+3−3=−18−3

−5.25x /−5.25 =− 21 /−5.25

x=4

There are 188 people on the trip and their total cost for the bike tour was $5040. There were twelve more adults than seniors on
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
Alina [70]
If you add everything up then
14x-2=180
14x=182
x= 13
 
So the angles would equal
2(13)+1= 27
3(13)-3= 36
9(13)= 117
The angles are 27 36 and 117
Which makes the smallest angle 27 which is B.
