Answer:

-17x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is the multiplication of the number outside the parenthesis and the ones inside.

-5(x + 4) + -3x + -9x + -7

-5x - 20 + -3x + -9x + -7

Combine like terms:

-5x - 20 + -3x + -9x + -7

-5x +-3x

-8x + -9x

-17x

-17x - 20 + -7

-20 + -7

-27

The answer is -17x - 27

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches. what is the length of the base pane

Tems11 [23]

The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.

10. Simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator. 3 sqrt 160/sqrt 1350x A) 2 sqrt 15x/15x B) 3 sqrt 160/135

Viefleur [7K]

The simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .

First we must simplify the expression:
$\frac{3 \sqrt{160} }{\sqrt{1350x} } = \frac{12 \sqrt{10} }{15 \sqrt{6x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5 \sqrt{6x} }$

Then we factor the rational parts and cancel it out:
$\frac{4 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{5} }{5 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} }$

Then we rationalize the expression:
$\frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} } * \frac{\sqrt{3x} }{\sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{5*3x} = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$

<span>Finally, the simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .</span>
