As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-3(4n + 2) = -4n + -2 (4n - 6)$

We have to solve the equation in order to check if Derick was solved the equation correctly or not.

So,

Applying distributive property first

$-12n -6 = -4n -8n +12\\-12n-6 = -12n+12\\-12n+12n-6 = 12\\-6 = 12$

As the variable is already cancelled in the equation there is no unique solution.

In order for an equation to have infinite solutions the constant on both sides of equation should be same which is not the case in the given equation

So,

As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct

C. The Triangle Inequality Theorem States that any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. It cannot be A because 35+40= 75, which is not greater than 75. It cannot be B because 40+30= 70, which is not greater than 75. It cannot be D because 35+40= 75, which is not greater than 80. It is C because 40+30= 70, which is greater than 65.

A new health drink has 130% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for a certain vitamin. The RDA for this vitamin is 50 mg.

Anika [276]

Answer:
58.5 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Drink: 130% of RDA of vitamin X
RDA vitamin X = 45mg
130% of 45 = mg in the drink
130% = 130/100 = 1.3
130% of 45 = 1.3*45 = 58.5

So, this new drink has 58.5 mg of vitamin
