How to solve -2(-4f+5)=-7+2f-9

Mathematics

Damm [24]2 years ago

Answer:

f=\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(4f+5)=-7+2f-9

First, use PEMDAS to distribute the -2 to the parenthesis.

-8f -10 = -7+2f -9

Combine like terms on the right side.

-8f - 10 = -16+2f

Now, you may either subtract the f's or the constants. I'll subtract the constants first, meaning I will add 10 to both sides.

-8f = -6 + 2f

Now subtract the 2f from both sides.

-10f = -6

Divide both sides by 10.

f = \frac{-6}{-10}

Simplify.

f = \frac{3}{5}

Answer:

The value of f:

  • f=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=-7+2f-9

Group like terms

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=2f-7-9

Subtract the numbers: -7-9=-16

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=2f-16

Expand:  -2(-4f + 5) = 8f - 10

8f-10=2f-16

Add 10 to both sides

8f-10+10=2f-16+10

Simplify

8f=2f-6

Subtract 2f from both sides

8f-2f=2f-6-2f

Simplify

6f=-6

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6f}{6}=\frac{-6}{6}

Simplify

f=-1

Therefore, the value of f:

  • f=-1

At a concert 2/5 of the people were men, there were 3 times as many women as children. If there were 45 more men than children,
Bogdan [553]

This involves creating some equations.

First, these are what the letters I used stand for:

c = children

w = women

m = men

x = total population

Then, we must make an equation for each statement.

2/5x = m (2/5 of the people are men)

3c = w (there are 3 times as many women than children)

45+c = m (there are 45 more men than children)

Now, let's start plugging in our numbers:

x = all the men, women, and children

2/5(m+w+c) = m

2/5 (45+c +3c + c) = m     [Now simplify]

2/5 (45 + 5x) = m       [Now Distribute]

2/5(45) + (2/5)(5x) = m

2c + 18 = m    [Above we stated that there were the same amount as men as c +45]

2c + 18 = 45 +c     [Now set equal to c]

2c (-c) +18 = 45 +c (-c)

c+18 (-18) = 45 (-18)

c = 27

Now that we know that there was 27 children, we can plug 27 in for c in the other equations.

MEN = 27 + 45

WOMEN = 3(27)

CHILDREN = 27

Now add those three answers to find your total!

Antony purchases his Play Station 5 for $1,099 from Best Buy near the Parks Mall. The sales tax is 8.25%. How much does he pay f
hram777 [196]

Answer: $90.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales taxes are paid per good purchased to the IRS and are more often than not, collected at the point of sale by the seller.

The sales tax paid on the PlayStation can be calculated by the formula:

= Price of purchase * Sales tax percentage

= 1,099 * 8.25%

= $90.67
