-2(8p+2)-3(2-7p)-2(4+2p)=0
mutiply the first bracket by -2
(-2)(8p)= -16p
(-2)(+2)= -4
mutiply the second bracket by -3
(-3)(2)= -6
(-3)(-7p)= 21p
mutiply the third bracket by -2
(-2)(4)= -8
(-2)(+2p)= -4p
-16p-4-6+21p-8-4p= 0
-16p+21p-4p-4-6-8= 0 ( combine like terms)
5p-4p-4-6-8= 0
p-4-6-8= 0
p-10-8= 0
p-18= 0
move -18 to the other side to get p by itself
sign changes from -18 to +18
p-18+18= 0+18
p= 0+18
Answer: p= 18
The answer to #1 is D.
The answers to #2 is B,C,D,F.. I'm not sure what the remainder of G says..
Answer:
20 students
Step-by-step explanation:
If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:
100% - 15% = 85%
so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:
Students Percentage
17 ⇒ 85%
and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:
Students Percentage
17 ⇒ 85%
x ⇒ 100%
and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):
x = 17*100/85
x = 1700/85
x=20
2 years ago she had 20 students
Simple..
there is a major difference between 6z and

6z means: 6 times z
and

means: z to the power of 6(z*z*z*z*z*z)
An example...
make z=2...plug n chug..
6z----> 6(2)=12
and

--->

=64
As you can see..there is a
major difference.
Thus, your answer.
