Answer:

For x=2, the expression 4(5x-8) will be 4 more than the expression 2(4-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expressions are;

4(5x-8) and 2(4-x)

For 4 more than the second expression, we will add 4 with second expression.

4(5x-8) = 2(4-x) + 4

20x - 32 = 8 -2x +4

20x + 2x = 12 + 32

22x = 44

Dividing both sides by 22

$\frac{22x}{22}=\frac{44}{22}\\x=2$

Hence,

For x=2, the expression 4(5x-8) will be 4 more than the expression 2(4-x)

Brandon says to get that shade of green, 6 pints of yellow paint need to be added to the bucket. Bianca says that won't work. In

Ksenya-84 [330]

<span>There are 2 pints of blue and 2 pints of yellow in the bucket.
To be 80% yellow, the new color will be (100%-80%=) 20% blue.

2 pints is 20% of (2 pints/0.20=) 10 pints.
With 4 pints in the bucket, to make 10 pints you should add
(10 pints-4 pints=) 6 more pints of yellow paint.

ANSWER: You should add 6 pints of yellow to the 4 pints of green in the bucket to make the new color that is 80% yellow.</span>

Will bought 3 college textbooks. One cost 32$, one cost 45$, and one cost 39$. What is the average price of his book?

Damm [24]

Answer:

The average of all textbooks is $38.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why to calculate average we do sum of all numbers divided by the number of numbers, for example if we average 2 and 3, we do 2+3 divided by 2. Which happens to be 2.5. Now for this problem we divide the sum by 3.

Therefore getting our answer of $38.60.

Solve this expression 8÷2*5+(6-4)

Annette [7]

Value of expression $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$ is 22 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have the following expression to solve :

8÷2*5+(6-4)

⇒ $(8/2)*5 + (6-4)$

⇒ $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$

But 8 = 4(2) , So

⇒ $\frac{4(2)}{2}(5) + (6-4)$

⇒ $4(5) + (6-4)$

⇒ $20 + (6-4)$

⇒ $20 + 2$

⇒ $22$

Therefore, Value of expression $\frac{8}{2}(5) + (6-4)$ is 22 .

The sum of two positive numbers is 42. What is the smalles possible value of the sum of their squares?

Mkey [24]

Okie, it is not too hard.
Set these numbers a and b, notice a, b positive.
We have a+b=42.
You can see the next on my photo

Or you can use the formula of Cauchy
