Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-

1.2^4)?
I attached a picture !

Thank you everyone :)

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

What is the wquation of a circle with center (-2.3) and radius 4

yanalaym [24]

The equation of any circle is

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = radius^2 where our center is (a, b)

Therefore, our equation is as follows.

(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16

John runs every day. The number of miles that he runs varies per day. Write a variable expression to show John's total miles for

Alekssandra [29.7K]

In this item, we are given that the number of miles that John runs every day vary. Therefore, it is just rightful that we use three different variables for the number of miles he ran for three days. For the purpose of representation in this item, we let the variables be x, y, and z. The total miles he ran is equal to the sum of the three variables. Let T be the total and that would be equal to,

<em> T = x + y + z</em>

Silas had 3 times as much money as Raja. Silas spent $84 of his money to buy a birthday gift for his grandma while Raja was awar

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Total amount Silas and Raja has at first = $252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Amount Silas had = x

Amount Raja had = y

According to given statement;

x = 3y Eqn 1

x-84 = y+42 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

3y - 84 = y+42

3y-y = 42+84

2y = 126

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{126}{2}\\y=63$

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1

x = 63(3)

x = 189

Total amount they had = 189 + 63 = $252

Hence,

Total amount Silas and Raja has at first = $252
