First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
To check if this point lies on the line, plug in a 2 for x and a y for 1 and solve
x+2y=5
2+2(1)=5
4=5
Since this statement isn't true, then the point doesn't lie on the line
Hope this helps
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
you reverse the numbers in the y spot, so if they are negative make them positive, vise versa
Answer:
Shorter piece length is 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's marked first piece with x and second with y
x + y = 42
Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4
From this proportion we get
x = 3 c and y = 4 c where c is coefficient of proportionality
when we replace this in initial equation we get
3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6 c = 6
x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches
shorter piece is x = 18 inches
God with you!!!
