You have used the Distributive Property to transform numerical expressions such as (5)(3) + (2)(3) to (5 + 2)(3). How would you

transform 5x + 2x into a single term? Substitute five different values into the expressions 5x + 2x and 7x - 1. What do you notice about the values of the expressions? Is there any value that would make the two expressions equal? Why or why not?

5x + 2x.....combine like terms..... = 7x

5x + 2x....subbing in 1                               7x - 1....subbing in 1
5(1) + 2(1) = 5 + 2 = 7                               7(1) - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6

5x + 2x...subbing in 2                                 7x - 1...subbing in 2
5(2) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14                            7(2) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

5x + 2x...subbing in 3                                 7x - 1...subbing in 3
5(3) + 2(3) = 15 + 6 = 21                            7(3) - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

5x + 2x...subbing in 4                                 7x - 1....subbing in 4
5(4) + 2(4) = 20 + 8 = 28                            7(4) - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27

5x + 2x...subbing in 5                                 7x - 1...subbing in 5
5(5) + 2(5) = 25 + 10 = 35                          7(5) - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34


5x + 2x result values are 1 more then 7x - 1 result values
there are no values that will make the 2 expressions equal....
because 5x + 2x = 7x......and the other one is 7x - 1......so the 7x - 1 values will always be 1 number less...because ur subtracting one

A 14-ounce box of cereal sells for $2.10. What is the unit rate?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is equal to one

In this problem to find the unit rate, divide the total cost of cereal by the total weight of cereal

so

\frac{2.10}{14}\frac{\$}{ounces} =0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

If A(3, 2, 9) and B(-4, 7, 2) are two points in 3-space, then find the vector AB.
Klio2033 [76]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

AB = (-7,5,-7)

Discussion:

The vector AB = B - A =

(-4, 7, 2)   -  (3, 2, 9)  =                      => subtract component-wise

(-4 -3, 7-2, 2-9) =

(-7,5,-7)

Thank you,

MrB
