Answer:

A = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4=-10a+50

8a-4+4=-10a+50+4

8a=-10a+54

8a+10a=-10a+54+10a

18a=54

54 / 18 = 3

<u>A = 3</u>

The answer would be a=3. to put it more clear, multiply the number outside of the parenthesis. so for example 4•2a is 8a, and 4•-1 is -4. since the -4 has no variable, it would just be 8a-4. next, the -10 times a positive a would be -10a. a positive times a negative is negative. next, do -10•-5 which is positive 50. remember, a negative times a negative is positive! after this, take the 8a-4=-10a+50 and add the constant and the variable (-10a) by the 8a. ALWAYS go right to left when subtracting or adding. you should get 18a. so 18a-4=50. take the negative four and add a positive four because you need to make the sides equal, add the four to 50, and you should get 18a=54. lastly, 54/18 is 3! so, A=3

If h (x) = -5x-7 then what is h (x-1) ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

h(x - 1) = -5x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Distributive Property

<u>Algebra I</u>

Terms/Coefficients

Functions

  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

h(x) = -5x - 7

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

  1. Substitute in <em>x </em>[Function h(x)]:                                                                          h(x - 1) = -5(x - 1) - 7
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute -5:                                                                h(x - 1) = -5x + 5 - 7
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         h(x - 1) = -5x - 2

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7)−0.5(1.7+1.7)minus, 0, point, 5, left parenthesis, 1, point, 7
Allisa [31]

The expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

and 2(-0.5(1.7))

<h3>Distributive law of expansion</h3>

Given the expression below;

-0.5 (1.7 + 1.7)

According to the distributive law;

A(B+C) = AB + AC

Expand

-0.5(1.7) + (-0.5)(1.7)

-0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

2(-0.5(1.7))

Hence the expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

and 2(-0.5(1.7))
