Cats to dogs means that the first number is cats and the second number is dogs. Thus, you have the ratios 2 cats to 5 dogs and 5 cats to 2 dogs which are different.

If they are both ratios of cats to dogs, with the ratio 2 to 5 it would mean there are 2.5x more dogs then there are cats, but with the ratio 5 to 2 it would mean there are 2.5x more cats than there are dogs, in which they are both different.

What is the simplified expression for the expression below? 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1) 24x – 3 18x – 8 18x – 7 24x – 14
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Option b 18x-8 is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1) and find the result.

Solving:

= 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1)

Multiplying terms with values in the bracket.

= 12x - 8 + 12x -6x

Adding like terms

= 12x + 12x - 6x -8

= 24x -6x -8

= 18x -8

So, Option b 18x-8 is correct answer.

Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (7, -2) and has a slope of -3
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 3 and (a, b) = (7, - 2 ), thus

y - (- 2) = - 3(x - 7) , that is

y + 2 = - 3(x - 7) → B
