Answer:

No?

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to give b a value, let's say 2,

then 5(2+3) would = 25, and 3(2+5) would = 21.

therefore no, they are not equivalent.

Answer:

No, because using the distributive property, you would get 5b+15 and 3b+15. The number of b you have is different.

The expressions 10/12(245b−365) and 2/3(3b+6) represent the lengths of the diagonals of parallelogram WXYZ. For what value of b

makkiz [27]

Answer:

b = 1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of diagonals of a parallelogram = $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)$ and $\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

If the given parallelogram is a rectangle,

Length of the diagonals will be equal in measure,

Therefore, $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)=\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{12}{10}\times \frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{4}{5}(3b+6)$

5(245b - 365) = 4(3b + 6)

1225b - 1825 = 12b + 24

1225b - 12b = 24 + 1825

1213b = 1849

b = $\frac{1849}{1213}$

b = 1.52

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4 1 −1 −5 −25

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1) = - 2(x - 1) - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

3x + 3 = - 2x + 2 - 4

3x + 3 = - 2x - 2 ( add 2x to both sides )

5x + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 1
