Answer:
A) x² + 7x - 12 is NOT equivalent to the expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) expand by distributing terms.

2) Expand by distributing terms.

3) Collect like terms.

4) Simplify.

<em><u>The</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>second</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equation</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>are</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equivalent</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equation</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>but</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>first</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equation</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>not</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equivalent</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equation</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
So lets write this equation out. Let x be that number we are trying to find.
So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this
5/7
when you see the word "of" that means multiplication
so we can write the full equation.
(5/7)x = -35
now we can solve
Multiply both sides by 7
5x = -245
now divide by 5
and we get
x = -49

Answer: 10
p = Pamela’s age, j = Jiris’ age
2j = p
p + j = 30
Then change things around a bit...
p + j = 30 or
30 - p = j
Then substitute
2(30 - p) = p
And solve
2(30 - p) = p
60 - 2p = p
60 = 3p
p = 20
Answer:
18. <u>0.25</u>
19. <u>0.33</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Problem 18</u>
- Number of oranges = 2
- Number of fruits = 2 + 6 = 8
- P (orange) = 2/8 = 1/4
- P (orange) = <u>0.25</u>
<u />
<u>Problem 19</u>
- Number of 1 or 6 faces = 2
- Total faces = 6
- P (1 or 6) = 2/6 = 1/3
- P (1 or 6) = <u>0.33</u> (2 DP)
