Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
g) c=1.98w is your answer
w = weight = 5.5
c = cost = 10.89
10.89 = 1.98(5.5)
10.89 = 10.89 (true)
hope this helps
w-(-3)=7
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket
w-1(-3)=7
Mutiply the bracket by -1
(-1)(-3)=3
w+3=7
Move +3 to the other side. Sign changes from +3 to -3.
w+3-3=7-3
w=4
Answer: w=4
Answer:
The correct option is 4.
4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.
We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.
However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.
