Answer:

-8x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to distribute the (-1) from outside the bracket onto all the terms in the bracket, which includes (8x) and (-12). If there is a minus outside the bracket and one minus in the bracket, the operation would be a plus and vice versa. If there is a minus outside the bracket and one plus in the bracket, the operation would be a minus and vice versa.

- (8x - 12) = (-1) × (8x) + (-1) × (-12)

= -8x + (+12)

= -8x + 12

Maria had planned to walk 10 1/8 miles on wednesday, if she walked 7 2/8 miles in the morning how far would she need to walk in

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Distance Maria had to walk in the afternoon is $2\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take that Maria walked $x$ miles in the afternoon.

Distance walked in the morning + distance walked in the afternoon = $10\frac{1}{8}$

⇒ $7\frac{2}{8} +x=10\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{58}{8} +\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$\frac{58+8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$58+8x=81$

$8x=81-58\\$

$8x=23$

$x=\frac{23}{8}$

$x=2\frac{7}{8}$

Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This function passes the vertical line test.

The vertical line test test is done by drawing a vertical line anywhere on the graph. If the line goes through two points or more then it isn't a function.
