The second leftover expression is not o(a+b). It is 6(a + b). I have attached the correct question to depict that.
Answer:
The equivalent expressions are;
8a + 2 and 6a + 6b
Step-by-step explanation:
The two leftover expressions are given as;
2(4x + 1) and 6(a + b)
In algebra, equivalent expressions are simply those expressions which when simplified, give the same resulting expression as the initial one.
Thus simply means expanding or collecting like times to make it clearer.
Now, in our question, like terms have already been collected. This means that to find an equivalent expression, we will just expand the bracket.
Thus;
2(4x + 1) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;
8x + 2
Similarly,
6(a + b) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;
6a + 6b
Thus;
The equivalent expressions are;
8a + 2 and 6a + 6b
30 ounces of the coffee John likes consists of
ounces of water
ounces of cocoa
To this mixture we're adding ounces of water, so that the new mix has a total volume of
ounces and matches the composition of the coffee Lily likes. This means it would consist of
ounces of water
ounces of cocoa (same amount of cocoa as before because pure water is being added)
Solve for :
###
Just to confirm: the new mixture consists of
ounces of water
ounces of cocoa
giving a total volume of ounces of coffee, and
, as required.
Complete question is;
A park has a 3 meter tall tether ball pole and a 6.8 m tall flagpole. The lengths of their shadows are proportional to their heights.
Which of the following could be the lengths of the shadows?
Choose 2 answers from the options attached.
Answer:
Options B & D
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the proportional relationship between the height and shadow length is a direct proportionality. This means that an increase in the height, leads to an increase in the length of shadow and vice versa. Thus, the height to shadow length ratio is a constant.
Now, if we use x and y to denote length of shadow of tether ball pole and length of flagpole receptively, we will have;
3/x = 6.8/y
Let's make y the subject.
y = 6.8x/3
Looking at the options;
Option A: When x = 1.35 m, we have;
y = (6.8 × 1.35)/3 = 3.06 m
For Option B:
When x = 1.8 m,
y= (6.8 × 1.8)/3 = 4.08 m
For Option C:
When x= 3.75 m,
y = (6.8 × 3.75)/3 = 8.5 m
For option D:
When x = 0.6
y = (6.8 × 0.6)/3 = 1.36 m
For option E;
When x = 2,
y = (6.8 × 2)/3 = 4.533 m
From our calculations, the only values of y that correspond with the given value of y in the options are Options B & D
