Answer:
Distributive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer choice a is correct because you are distributing 2 to each term in the parentheses. When you multiply 2 to each factor in the parentheses, it simplifies to 2x-2, thus making the new equation 6x+2x-2=30
Answer:
- The y-intercept is (0, -37/7).
Explanation:
When you have one point and the slope of a line you can find its equation by using the point-slope form of the linear function:
- m = slope
- point = (a, b)
- point-slope equation: (y - b) = m (x - a).
Now substitute m = -1/7 and (a,b) = (5, - 6)
Solve for y:
- y = -(1/7)x - 37/7 ← this is the slope-intercept form of the equation.
The y-intercept is the point when x = 0. So, the corresponding y-coordinate is the constant term in the last equation:
And the y-intercept is the point (0, -37/7).
x = 37.5 (or) 
Solution:
Given 
.
Let us take BE = x and BC = 25 + x.
To determine the value of x:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Do cross multiplication, we get
Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.
Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or)
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or .
