For the first, simply plug in the value of x given (x = 2) into the equation: 
So, 8 would be your answer.
For the second, the sum of x and 2 would be expressed as x + 2. Twice this sum would be written as 2(x+2). Finally, 8 less than twice that sum would be written as 2(x+2) - 8, which would be your expression.
For the last question, the coefficient refers to the number directly in front of the variable, x. So you need only to check what the x would simplify to in each equation and look for the expression where x has no coefficient (i.e., its coefficient is 1). For Hunter, the coefficient would be 15 (5 × 3x = 15x); for Michael, the coefficient would be 11 (6x + 5x = 11x); for Nate, the coefficient would be 1 (x = 1x); and for Spencer, the coefficient would be 2 (2x = 2x). Thus, Nate's expression has a coefficient of 1 when simplified.
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation: -5 x -8 is 40 since the negatives cancel each other out, the product is positive :)
When subtracting a number from a negative (like question one) the subtraction sign will now be an addition sign.
1.
6-(-7)=13
For question 2, its simple subtraction. If you subtract a negative from positive, it'l be a negative.
2.
-3 - 3= -6
3.
-15 - 23 = -38
Now we combine my previous explanations. Subtracting a negative from a negative will be like adding (like in question 4)
4.
-9 - (-5)= -4
5.
5 - (-15)=20
6.
78-(-17)=95
Extra Info:
When adding a number (doesnt matter if positive or negative) to a negative it will turn into subtraction.
Examples:
6+(-9)=-3
-9+(-9)= -18
Answer:
correct choice is 1st option
Step-by-step explanation:
Two given triangles have two pairs of congruent sides: one pair of length 7 units and second pair of length 8 units. The third side is common, i.e the lengths of third sides are equal too.
Use SSS theorem that states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
Thus, given triangles are congruent by SSS theorem.
Answer: Associative property
