Well, in order to get that you had to do distributive property, distributive property is when you get the outside number next to the parenthesis and multiply it by the numbers or variable inside the parenthesis one by one. So if she was trying to explain how you got the answer you got then you would say you used the distributive property. Now the (-4x)2 would look like (-4x)(-4x) nad the (9)2 will look like (9)(9) that is why it results in 16x2+81. When you square something it means that you multiply the first number or variable or both times the same. That is why you got that answer. Now I am going to make clear that you r(-4x) changed from a negative to a postive because when you multiply a negative times a negative(or divide also) it results in a positve.
Hope I explained it enough
Answer:
r = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5 + 4r) = -18r
15 +12r = -18r by distributive property
15 = -12r - 18r
15 = -30r
r = - 1/2r
If your question is to write it in scientific notation, it's 10^4 and the exponent is 4
Answer:
It will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.
Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade field trip, and there is a 40% chance of him selling a candy bar at each house, and he has to sell 5 candy bars in all, to determine the number of houses it takes and determine the probability he sells his last candy bar at the 11th house, the following calculations must be performed:
5 / 0.40 = X
12.5 = X
So, it will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.
5/11 = X
0.45 = X
0.45 x 0.4 = 0.18
Thus, Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.
