Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

Ahmed wrote an expression as 12x + 24, find all the equivalent expressions using the distributive property.

xeze [42]

Answer:

$12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12)$

$12x + 24 = 3(4x + 8)$

$12x + 24 = 4(3x + 6)$

$12x + 24 = 6(2x + 4)$

$12x + 24 = 12(x + 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$12x + 24$

Required

Equivalent expressions

No option were given; So, I will list out some possible equivalent expressions.

Using distributive property:

$AB + AC = A*(B + C)$

So, we have:

$12x + 24 = 2*6x + 2 * 12$

$12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12)$ ----- (1)

Another:

$12x + 24 = 3*4x + 3 * 8$

$12x + 24 = 3(4x + 8)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 4*3x + 4*6$

$12x + 24 = 4(3x + 6)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 6*2x + 6*4$

$12x + 24 = 6(2x + 4)$

Another:

$12x + 24 = 12*x + 12*2$

$12x + 24 = 12(x + 2)$

21. Attending a Conference The Sarasota City Council plans

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So in order to get this answer you want to use the combination formula which is $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Now you want to use the numbers given to you in the problem which is ₈C₂ and plug those into the equation

so your going to have something looking like this $\frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}$ now if you have a calculator nearby and you plug in ₈C₂ your going to get 28 which is the answer.

hope this somewhat helps.

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle? Here the number of animals and the number of days are in inverse proportion. Hence the food will last 4 days.
