First we multiply

12x - 15 + 8x + 24

Next we combine like terms

20x + 9

3(4x-5)+4(2x+6)

Distribute.

12x-15+8x+24

12x+8x= 20x

24-15= 9

20x+9 <---- simplified expression

I hope this helps!

The mr William two questions please!

well, in short, the students and chaperones are at a 2 : 9 ratio, and we know there are 171 students, how many chaperones then, so long they maintain a 2:9 ratio?

$\bf \cfrac{chaperones}{students}\qquad 2:9\qquad \cfrac{2}{9}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{x}{171}=\cfrac{2}{9}\implies 9x=2(171) \\\\\\ 9x=342\implies x=\cfrac{342}{9}\implies x=38$

Sin(a+b) + sin (a-b) = 2 sin a cos b verify the identitiy

Bas_tet [7]

Write out the sum formula for sin
sin(x + y) = sinxcos + sinycosx 

Then expand sin(a + b) + sin(a - b) 
sinacosb + sinbcosa + sinacosb - sinbcosa 
The 2nd and 4th terms cancel and you get 
2sinacosb

What is the midpoint between the points (1, 4) and (-3, 2)?

$\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
