Hello!

So, let's simplify using the distributive property.

Let's look at <em>3(2x - 4). </em>You want to multiply 3 by every term inside the parentheses.

3*2x = 6x

3*-4= - 12

So now our expression looks like this:

(6x - 12) - 4x

Now we combine like terms. Our only like terms are 6x and -4x.

6x - 4x = 2x. So, our simplified expression is:

2x - 12.

kupik [55]
8x - amount of boys
7x- amount of girls 

8x + 7x = 195
 
15x= 195  ( divide by 15)

x= 13

8x = 8 x 13 = 104

7x = 7 x 13= 91 

there are 104 boys, and 91 girls.

Write an equation of the line passing through point P that is perpendicular to the given line.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

*perpendicular means the reciprocal slope of the given line

m = 1/3

y = 1/3x + b

*plug in points with the point-slope equation

10 = 1/3(6) + b

10 = 2 + b

b = 8

*now plug everything into the equation

y = 1/3x + 8

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 110 inches. Find the length and the width.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

  • Length = 43 inches
  • Width = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.

Assume the width is x. Length is:

4x - 5

Equation is therefore:

2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110

4x - 5 + x = 110/2

5x - 5 = 55

5x = 55 + 5

x = 60/5

x = 12 inches

If width is 12 inches, then length is:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 12 -5

= 43 inches

What is the coefficient of b in the expression b+10? Explain
MariettaO [177]

Hello!

A coefficient is a constant multiplied by a variable. As you can see, b is not being multiplied by a number we can see. The thing is, it still has a coefficient. Isn't 1b the same thing as b? This would mean our coefficient would be 1.

I hope this helps!
