Step 3: distribute
Step 4: add
Step-by-step explanation:
What are you supposed to be doing
Answer:
f ( - 2 ) = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
f ( - 2 ) = - 3 ( -2 )^2
then you do the exponent first so
- 3 ( 4 )
now you multpily the - 3 and 4
you get - 12
Answer:
2. x = 2 & y = 4
3. x = 4 & y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2. x + y = 6
2x + y = 8 (multiply the first equation by -1, so you can eliminate the ys)
- x - y = -6
2x + y = 8 (now add the variables together)
x = 2 (plug in x in one of the equations to find out y)
x + y = 6
(2) + y = 6
-2 -2
y = 4
3. 3x + y = 14
x = 2y (plug in x into the first equation and solve it for y)
3(2y) + y = 14
6y + y = 14
7y = 14
y = 2 (plug in y in one of the equations to find out x)
x = 2y
x = 2(2)
x = 4
4. One number (x) is 2 more (+2) than twice (times 2) as large as another. their sum is 17. Find the numbers.
2x + 2 = 17 (solve for x)
-2 -2
2x = 15
x = 7.5
6. 7 (4x + 1) - (x + 6) (start by distributing 7 into the first parenthesis)
(28x + 7) - (x + 6) (do the same to the other parenthesis by distributing -1)
(28x + 7) (-x - 6) (and now just combine like terms)
28x + 7 - x - 6
28x - x + 7 - 6
27x + 1
i hope this helped! if you have any question, pls let me know!
