Answer:
It does not matter whether you multiply the radicands or simplify each radical first. You multiply radical expressions that contain variables in the same manner. As long as the roots of the radical expressions are the same, you can use the Product Raised to a Power Rule to multiply and simplify.
Step-by-step explanation:
4(4x)+2(x)=72
16x+2x=72
18x=72
x=4
Answer:
c. C(x) = 88 - 1.75x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent this with an equation. We know that the total number of burgers is 32, and the number of Whoppie Jr. is x, so the number of Whoppie is 32-x.
Each Whoppie costs 2.75, and each Whoppie Jr. costs 1, so multiply the cost by the number to get the equation:
C(x) = 1x + 2.75(32-x)
Now distribute and simplify.
C(x) = 2.75*32 + 1x -2.75x
<u>C(x) = 88 -1.75x</u>
Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
