Step 1. Simplify
7x^2 - 8x - 4 - 2x^2 + 3x + 5 + 5x^2 - 10x - 8
Step 2. Collect like terms
(7x^2 - 2x^2 + 5x^2) + (-8x + 3x - 10x) + (-4 + 5 - 8)
Step 3. Simplify
10x^2 - 15x - 7
The distance between city C and city D is 450 miles.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles.
A length of 2.3 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map.
City C and City D are 4.14 feet apart on this map.
We have to find what is the actual distance between City C and City D?
Now, distance between a and b is 250 miles ⇒ 2.3 feet on map
Then, distance between c and d be n miles ⇒ 4.14 feet on map.
Now, by chris cross method.
250 x 4.14 = 2.3 x n miles.
2.3n = 1035
n = 450
Hence, the distance between city C and city D is 450 miles.
1.) r=-1/3
2.) x=-33/29
3.) x=-4/5 x=2/5
