So if you distribute 4 in the first parentheses, you get 12x+20y+8z.
Then you distribute 3 in the second parentheses. You'll get 3x-3z. That all equals 12x+20y+8z+3x-3z.
Now you have to start combining numbers with the same variable. Start with x. 12x+3x is 15x.
y has no other common variable, it's left alone.
8z-3z is 5z
All together now with the numbers in simpler form, the equation is 15x+20y+5z
Jenna's would be the right answer because when you distribute 5 in her answer you get 15x+20y+5z
Answer:
Directions - Identify the key components, create an exponential equation, then answer the questions.
Exponential Form: y=a\cdot b^{x},\ a\ is\ the\ \textit{starting}\ \textit{value},\ b\ is\ the\ base\ (rate).\y=a⋅b
x
, a is the starting value, b is the base (rate).
In a small town, the stray dog population is rapidly increasing. there are currently 15 stray dogs, and it is estimated that the population will triple every year. How many dogs will there be after 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?
1) a = 15
4) Dogs after 1 years = 45
2) b = 3
5) Dogs after 2 years = 135
3) Equation:
y= 15 ×3x
6) Dogs after 3 years =
405
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Simplify:
-(x-1)=5 => -x+1=5
Isolate x:
-x=5-1 => -x=4 => x=-4
3 times 1/10 is equal to 3/10, whereas 3 times 10 is equal to 30.
3/ 10 is less than 30.
We can write this as 3 * 1/10 compared to 3 * 10
If we divide both sides by 3, we then compare 1/10 and 10.
1/10 is less than 10, so 3 times 1/10 is less than 3 times 10.
We can rewrite 1/10 = 0.1, so 3 * 0.1 is 0.3 whereas 3 * 10 = 30.
Answer:
the answer is the first option
