Answer:

No, they are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{-2}{3}(12b - 6 + 9b - 18) = \frac{-2}{3}(12b + 9b - 6 - 18)\\\\=\frac{-2}{3}(21b - 24)\\\\  = \frac{-2}{3}*21b -24*\frac{-2}{3}\\\\= -2*7b + 8*2\\\\= 2( -7b + 8)

Answer:

This is NOT equivalent to 2b(b + 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with -2/3(12b - 6 + 9b - 18).  Simplify this.  First, combine the like terms inside the set of parentheses:

(-2/3)(21b - 24)

Simplify this by applying the distributation property of multiplication:

-14b + 16

Finally, factor out 2:  2(-7b + 8)

This is NOT equivalent to 2b(b + 8).

The birth rate of a population is b(t) = 2300e0.024t people per year and the death rate is d(t)= 1450e0.019t people per year, fi
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Area = 10025.66 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The birth rate of a population:

b(t) = 2300e^{0.024t}

The death rate of a population:

d(t)= 1450e^{0.019t}

The area between the curve for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10, is given by:

\displaystyle\int_0^{10}b(t) - d(t)~ dt\\\\\displaystyle\int_0^{10} 2300e^{0.024t}-1450e^{0.019t}~dt\\\\= \Bigg[\frac{2300e^{0.024t}}{0.024}\Bigg]_0^{10}-\Bigg[\frac{1450e^{0.019t}}{0.019}\Bigg]_0^{10}\\\\= \Bigg[\frac{2300e^{0.24}}{0.024}-\frac{1450e^{0.19}}{0.019}\Bigg]-\Bigg[\frac{2300}{0.024}-\frac{1450}{0.019}\Bigg]\\\\= 29543.2058565 - 19517.5438596 \approx 10025.6

The area of a rectangle is 14 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than double the width. find the dimensions of the
muminat
Width =3.5, length = 4

Let's make a few equations to summarize what we know.:
a = 14
l = 2w -3
a = wl

Now let's substitute the expression for l into the expression for area and solve.
a = w(2w - 3)
a = 2w^2 - 3w
14 = 2w^2 - 3w

0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 14

which factors into
(2w - 7) (w + 2)

Solving for w
2w - 7 = 0
2w = 7
w = 3.5

w+2 = 0
w = -2

So w can be either 3.5 or -2. Since a negative width doesn't make sense, w = 3.5

Let's verify
w = 3.5
l = 2w - 3
l = 2*3.5 - 3
l = 7 - 3
l = 4
a = wl
a = 3.5 * 4
a = 14

So the width is 3.5 and the length is 4.

Y=2x-1<br><br> y=-3x+14<br><br> Solve for y
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Y=2x-1
y=-3x+14

First you would substitue one of the y's for the other so
2x-1=-3x+14

no you would solve for x...
add one on both sides
2x=-3x+15

now add 3x to both sides which becomes
5x=15

divide 5 on both sides which gives you x=3

now to solve for y plug into any one of the equations(doesn't matter which one) from before 3 for x and solve
y=2(3)-1
y=6-1
y=5

And that is you answer y=5
