I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this
to this
The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.

Answer:
2 cows and 5 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.
Let x = cows and y = chickens
1. form two equations
4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)
x + y = 7 .... (2)
2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation
x + y = 7
y = 7 - x ... (3)
3. Substitute (3) into (1)
4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18
4. solve for x
4x + 14 - 2x = 18
2x = 4
x = 2
5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)
x + y = 7
2 + y = 7
y = 5
∴ cows (x) = 2
chickens (y) = 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the inscribed angle theorem tells us that any inscribed angle will be exactly half the measure of the central angle that subtends its arc, it follows that all inscribed angles sharing that arc will be half the measure of the same central angle. Therefore, the inscribed angles must all be congruent.
Answer:
a. 81.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-score for 400 is ...
Z = (X -μ)/σ = (400 -500)/100 = -1
The z-score for 700 is ...
Z = (700 -500)/100 = 2
The empirical rule tells you that 68% of the distribution is within ±1σ of the mean, and 95% is within ±2σ of the mean. Half of that first number is in the range Z = -1 to 0, and half that second number is in the range Z = 0 to +2. So, the probability you want is ...
(1/2)(68%) + (1/2)(95%) = 81.5% . . . . matches choice A
