17.154 < 17.15 is incorrect.
17.15 is 17.150 which is less than 17.154 not greater than.
Answer:
- (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
- (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
- 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:
- -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
- -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent
Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.
1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
Answer:
-4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
We first calculate the first bracket.
[2/3-(-4/9)]
= (2/3+4/9) (we cancel out the negatives)
= (6/9+4/9) (common denominator)
= 10/9
Then we convert -2 1/2 into an improper fraction.
-2 1/2
= -5/2
Finally we calculate the division by swapping the numerator and denominator of -5/2.
10/9 / -5/2
= 10/9 * -2/5
= -20/45
= -4/9 (simplify the terms)
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 18 = -8
+18 +18
5x = 10
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2
82 I think that’s the answer because that’s my opinion if it’s wrong I don’t know what to tell you
