Answer: x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. See attached. Please note that we cannot do what is in the parentheses first because we have a variable, so we will distribute the 2 into it. Since this is an expression, I do not believe we can fully solve for x, but can only simplify.
Given:
2(3/5x+3)
Distribute:
2 * (3/5x) + (2 * 3)
6/5x + 6
Answer:
x + 6
Lester and Carey are 14 feet apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Kim is teaching a 5th grade class
We need to find how far apart Lester and Carey
Look to the attached figure
The positions of Mrs. Kim, Lester, and Carey formed a right triangle
∵ The distance between Mrs. Kim and Carey is 50 feet
∴ The length of the hypotenuse of the Δ = 50 feet
∵ The distance between Mrs. Kim and Lester is 48 feet
∴ The length of one leg of the Δ = 48 feet
The formula of length of the sides of the right Δ is:
Substitute the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the given leg in the formula above
∵ (50)² = (48)² + (leg)²
∴ 2500 = 2304 + (leg)²
- Subtract 2304 from both sides
∴ 196 = (leg)²
- Take square for both sides
∴ 14 = leg
∵ This leg represents the distance between Lester and Carey
∴ The distance between Lester and Carey = 14 feet
Lester and Carey are 14 feet apart
