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.
Answer:
52.94
Step-by-step explanation:

<em>just</em><em> </em><em>subtract</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>like</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>isn't</em><em> </em><em>even</em><em> </em><em>there</em><em>.</em>
To determine the correct ordered pairs which will agree with the function, we can substitute values to the function and see whether it agree with each other. We do as follows:
<span>(0,1)
</span><span> f(x)=128(0.5)^0
</span><span> f(x)=128
</span><span>
(1,64)
</span><span> f(x)=128(0.5)^1
</span>f(x) = 64 <--------CORRECT ANSWER<span>
(3,16)
</span><span> f(x)=128(0.5)^3
f(x) = 16 <--------CORRECT ANSWER
</span><span>
(8,0.5)
</span><span> f(x)=128(0.5)^8
f(x) = 1/2
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
A) For the equation
, the slope is
.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if
, the slope is
.
B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since
, that's the slope.
For the solution, set
equal to
, so it would be put together like this:
![y=[tex]- \frac{1}{2}x+3=2x-4\\ -\frac{1}{2}=2x-7\\ 1\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\ x=-4.66667](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Btex%5D-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dx%2B3%3D2x-4%5C%5C%20-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D2x-7%5C%5C%201%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dx%3D-7%5C%5C%20x%3D-4.66667)
So your answer is
-4.667.
