Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Five times the number is expressed as 5x

28 greater than the product of the number and -2 is expressed as;

28 + (-2x)

Equating both expressions

5x = 28 + (-2x)

5x = 28 - 2x

5x+2x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Hence the number is 4

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{p^3+p^2=p^2(p+1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$p^3+p^2\\\\p^3=p^{2+1}=p^2\cdot p\\\\p^3+p^2=p^2\cdot p+p^2\cdot1=p^2(p+1)$

Used:

$a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\text{distributive property}:\ a(b+c)=ab+ac$

What is the area of the figure below

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the composite figure = Area of ΔABH + Area of BCGH + Area of ΔDEF

Area of ΔABH = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(6)(8-5)$

= 9 in²

Area of the trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2}(CG+BH)(\text{Distance between these lines})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(6+4)(5)$

= 25 in²

Area of ΔDEF = $\frac{1}{2}(8)(6)$

= 24 in²

Therefore, area of the given figure = 9 + 25 + 24

= 58 in²

Option A will be the correct option.

Choose the correct equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. (2, -1), m= -3

Inga [223]

Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3
(2,-1)...x1 = 2 and y1 = -1
now we sub....pay attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = -3(x - 2)....not done yet
y + 1 = -3(x - 2) <===

Q. If 5 (3x-1) =40, then x = *<br>a-3<br>b-9

jeyben [28]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 5: 15x-5=40

Add 5 from both sides: 15x=45

Divide 15 by both sides: 3
