Simplify 5x - 3(x – 2) – x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property first since you stick with parentheses first (PEMDAS)

so 3x - 6 is what it would be.. then you would want to think of the equation as 5x - 3x - 2 - x. seems somewhat complicated but to others not so much.

Next you’re gonna just want to subtract, but you should probably make the problem easier so you can just subtract across right? it’d be 5x - 3x - x - 2. that way all the x variables are together and anything else is separate.

5x - 3x is 2x - x or - 1x is x or 1x.

i think just using the variable x for it being 1 is easier so now we have the problem x - 2.

anything else? nope! that’s the simplified equation.

hope that i was able to help :)

he actual weights of 10 sample “1 lb packages” of meat are found to be: sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 weight 1.01 1.03 0.98 0.99 1
Viefleur [7K]
To do this problem, add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers:

1.01+1.03+.98+.99+1.01+1.02+.98+1.05+.97+.98
10.02

Now divide by 10 (the amount of samples)

10.02/10
1.002

The Mean of the Data Set is 1.002

Hope this helps!

Find the derivative of the algebraic function
Rama09 [41]
f(x)=x\left(3-\dfrac{4}{x+7}\right)=3x-\dfrac{4x}{x+7}=\dfrac{3x(x+7)}{x+7}-\dfrac{4x}{x+7}=\\=\dfrac{3x^2+21x-4x}{x+7}=
\dfrac{3x^2+17x}{x+7}\\
f'(x)=\dfrac{(6x+17)(x+7)-(3x^2+17x)}{(x+7)^2}\\
f'(x)=\dfrac{6x^2+17x+42x+119-3x^2-17x}{(x+7)^2}\\
f'(x)=\dfrac{119+42x+3x^2}{(x+7)^2}\Rightarrow \text{A}

What is the surface area of the cone to the nearest whole number? Use 3.14 for π.
IRISSAK [1]
Hello!

We know that surface area of a cone = pi(r^2) + pi(rL) where L is the Slant height and R is the Radius and h is Height.
So, 30 is height, and half of 32 is the radius, then we just plug and chug,

An in Short, Your Answer would be 2512, Option "A"

Hope this Helps! :)
