Hey there!

DISTRIBUTE

3(–2x – 3) + 4x – 3 = 8

3(–2x) + 3(–3) + 4x – 3 = 8

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

–6x – 9 + 4x – 3 = 8

–2x – 12 = 8

ADD by 12 on BOTH SIDES

–2x – 12 + 12 = 8 + 12

CANCEL out: –12 + 12 because that gives 0

KEEP: 8 + 12 because it helps us solve for x

“8+ 12 = 20”

–2x = 20

DIVIDE by –2 on BOTH SIDES

–2x/–2 = 20/–2

CANCEL out: –2/–2 because that gives 1

KEEP: 20/–2 because that gives you x

“x = 20/–2”

Answer: x = –10 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Which equation represents a line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 3 ) and is parallel to the graph of y = 3 x + 1 ?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

              y + 3= 3(x - 6)        ←    point-slope form

             y = 3x - 21           ←    slope-intercept form

             3x - y = 21         ←    standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of line it's y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passing through.

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = 3x + 1   ⇒    m₁ = 3    ⇒    m₂ = 3

(6, -3)    ⇒    x₁ = 6,  y₁ = -3

point-slope form:

y - (-3) = 3(x - 6)

y + 3 = 3(x - 6)

y + 3 = 3x - 18              {subtact 3 from both sides}

y = 3x - 21        ←    slope-intercept form

-3x + y = -21                 {multiply both sides by (-1)}

3x - y = 21         ←    standard form

Sketch the graph of y (x +3)2-4 and identify the axis of symmetry.
masya89 [10]

The axis of symmetry is at x = -3.


This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:


y = (x - h)^2 + k


In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).


It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3

Megan’s TV had a base price of $189 and the sales tax was 6.88%. Over the next four years, the TV consumed an average of $0.06 o
Leni [432]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of tv and sales tax = 1.0688×$189 = $202.0032 ≅ $202.00

4 years = 3×365 days + 366 days = 1461 days

cost of electricity = 1461 days × $0.06/day = $87.66

lifetime cost = purchase price + electricity + repairs

= $202.00 + $87.66 + 2·$29

= $347.66

I need help with three and four
mart [117]

Answer:

3: a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}

4: 8x^{3} -12x^{2}+6x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3 can be re-written as:

(a+b)(a+b)

which equals:

a^{2}+2ab+b^{2}

Question 4 can be re-written as:

(2x-1)(2x-1)(2x-1)

Doing the first 2 brackets gives us:

(4x^{2} -4x+1)(2x-1)

Expanding these two:

8x^{3} -4x^{2} -8x^{2} +4x+2x-1

Simplifying it:

8x^{3} -12x^{2}+6x-1
