Answer: -2.75*x - 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation we have only one variable, this means that the minimum possible number of terms will be two, one term with x, and one term without x.

We can start with the equation:

(-0.25x - 3) - (2.5x + 1.7)

Now, let's rewrite this as:

-0.25x - 3 - 2.5x - 1.7

(-0.25*x - 2.5*x) + (-3 - 1.7)

Solving the parentheses we get:

-2.75*x - 4.7

That is the equivalent expression that has the fewest possible terms

7) A real number that is less than zero. These represent opposites.
enot [183]

Answer:

A negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.

3 connecting lines are shown. Line D F is horizontal. Line D E is about half the length of line D F. Line F E is about one-third
mars1129 [50]

The inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

<h3>Inequalities </h3>

From the question, we are to determine which of the given inequalities explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle

From the given information,

Line DE is about half the length of line DF

That is,

ED = 1/2 DF

Also,

Line FE is about one-third of the length of line DF

That is,

EF = 1/3 DF

Then, we can write that

ED + EF = 1/2DF + 1/3DF

ED + EF = 5/6 DF

Since,

5/6 DF < DF

Then,

ED + EF < DF

Hence, the inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

Find y for x= 1,2,3,and 4<br>y=2x     y=3x+1   y=x-5    y=-5x+6
Alenkasestr [34]
Like I said, just use the formulas
y=2x is 2,4,6,8
y=3x+1 is 4,7,10,13
y=x-5 is -4,-3,-2,-1
y=5x+6 is 11,16,21,26
Wow I just noticed these are all patterns...
