Answer:

-2.6x-(-5.9x) is equivalent to -2.6x+5.9x and 5.9x+(-2.6x)

-2.6x+(-5.9x) is equivalent to -2.6x-5.9x and -5.9x+(-2.6x).

The expressions which are equivalent to neither:

-5.9x+2.6x and 5.9x-(-2.6x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expressions:

1) -2.6x-(-5.9x)

2) -2.6x+(-5.9x)

To find:

The expressions equivalent to the given expressions.

or the expressions which are not equivalent to any of the given expressions.

Solution:

First of all, let us solve the brackets from the given expressions.

-2.6x-(-5.9x) can be written as -2.6x+5.9x (because when we multiply a negative sign with negative, it becomes positive.)

Similarly -2.6x+(-5.9x) can be written as -2.6x-5.9x (because when we multiply a positive sign with negative, it becomes negative.)

Therefore, the answer is:

-2.6x-(-5.9x) is equivalent to -2.6x+5.9x and 5.9x+(-2.6x)

-2.6x+(-5.9x) is equivalent to -2.6x-5.9x and -5.9x+(-2.6x).

The expressions which are equivalent to neither:

-5.9x+2.6x and 5.9x-(-2.6x)

Can someone please help me figure out what’s 18 3/4 as a decimal
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you covert this into a mixed fraction it would be 75/4 (4*18 is 72 then add the 3 in the numerator) then divide, 75/4 = 18.75 (sorry if explanation is bad)

Determine whether the two expressions are equivalent. Explain your reasoning.
dlinn [17]
Let us evaluate each pair of expressions one at a time.
8. (n²+4) - n² and 4n.
    (n²+4) - n² = n²+ 4 - n² = 4 which is not equal to 4n.
    NOT EQUIVALENT

9. 3x + 5 and  2(x + 3)
    2(x + 3) = 2x + 6  which is not equal to 3x + 5.
    NOT EQUIVALENT

10. 15 - 6x and  15(1 - 6x)
    15(1 - 6x) = 15 - 90x which is not equal to 15 - 6x
    NOT EQUVALENT

11. (y + y + 2 + y) + 3y and 6y + 2
    (y +y +2 + y) + 3y = y+y+y +2 + 3y = 3y + 2 + 3y = 6y + 2.
    It matches the other expression.
    EQUIVALENT

12. 8y - 3 + 10y and 3(6 - 1)
    8y - 3 + 10y = 8y + 10y - 3 = 18y - 3
    3(6 - 1) = 3(5) = 15
    The two expressions do not match.
    NOT EQUIVALENT.

Answer: Only the expressions in number 11 are equivalent.

₅₂C₅ = 2,598,960

If the order of the cards does matter:

52 × 51 × 50 × 49 × 48 = 311,875,200
