Help me simplify! -6 - 8(1 - x) = -14 + 8x

The answer:  The equation is true.   x = all real numbers.
_____________________________________________
Given:  
_________________________________
-6 − 8(1 <span>− x) = -14 + 8x ;
_________________________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication" :
_______________________________________________a(b+c) = ab +  ac ;
a(b−c) = ab − ac ;_______________________________________________As such:_______________________________________________  -8(1 − x) = (-8 * 1)  − (-8*x) = (-8) − (-8x) = -8 + 8x 

→ So, rewrite the original equation, substituting:  "-8 + 8x" for:  "−8(1 − x)" :

 →     - 6 − 8 + 8x  = -14 + 8x ;</span>
Note:  -6 − 8 = -14 ;  

Rewrite as: 
_____________________________

-14 + 8x = -14 + 8x ; 
____________________________________

The answer:  The equation is true.   x = all real numbers.

What is 200.96 rounded to the nearest hundredth?
Anvisha [2.4K]
200.96 rounded to the nearest hundredths would be 201 because in you decimal places you have .96 and your thousandths place is 6 so you would round. Up the 9 to 10 so you would have to make 200 into 201 therefore your answer would be 201

Between which two integers does -√46 appear on the number line please write in words
HACTEHA [7]
<h3>Answer:   -√46 is between -7 and -6</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

List out the perfect squares

  • 1^2 = 1
  • 2^2 = 4
  • 3^3 = 9
  • 4^2 = 16
  • 5^2 = 25
  • 6^2 = 36
  • 7^2 = 49
  • 8^2 = 64

and so on. We can see that 46 is between 6^2 = 36 and 7^2 = 49.

We can say 6^2 < 46 < 7^2

Applying the square root to all three sides leads us to 6 < sqrt(46) < 7

Now multiply all three sides by -1. This will flip the inequality signs

We go from

6 < sqrt(46) < 7

to

-6 > -sqrt(46) > -7

It might help to order things from smallest to largest to get this

-7 < -sqrt(46) < -6

This means -sqrt(46) is between -7 and -6 on the number line

See the diagram below.

Find the mode(s). 21 17 15 18 22 16 20
aliina [53]

There is no mode because the mode represents the most frequently occurring value in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode. It is one of the measures of central tendency.
