Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.

Please answer hurry!!!!

lutik1710 [3]

The best way to solve this problem is by plugging in each answer choice for both equations and seeing which one works. You can already see that choice A doesn't work because -1 is not greater than or equal to 4. That means you just need to test choices B and C!

Choice B (4, -2)
$x + y \geq 6\\
4 + -2 \geq 6\\
2 \geq 6 
$
2 is not greater than or equal to 6, so choice B doesn't work.

Choice C (4, 2)
$x + y \geq 6\\ 
4 + 2 \geq 6\\ 
6 \geq 6 \\\\
x \geq 4\\
4 \geq 4$
Since 6 is equal to 6 and 4 is equal to 4, choice C works!

G(x)=−2(x+1)(x+7) find the zeros

Makovka662 [10]

When finding zeros, the function has to equal zero. In other words, G(x) = 0.

For three multiplied parts to equal to zero, at least one has to be zero. -2 ≠ 0, but (x+1) or (x+7) can.

So you can equate each of those to zero and find out what the zeros are.

x+1=0
x=-1

x+7=0
x=-7

Thus the answer
x = -1 or -7
