Can Someone Help with This Distributive Property Math Question : 1. - ( 8x - 12 )

Mathematics
1 answer:

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

Alfonso and Lucas are 238 miles apart, traveling towards each other. If Lucas travels 21 mph and Alfonso travels 13 mph how long
Alex

Lucas equation for his location is x(t) = 13t.

Alfonso's equation is x(t) = 238 - 21t

If you equate these, you get:


13t = 238 - 21t =>

34t = 238

t = 7


So after seven hours they meet.

What are the two solutions of 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1.  Consolidate all terms on the left side and write 0 on the right side:

3x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation.  Let's solve it for x using the quadratic formula:

a = 3, b = 5, c = 1, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4(3)(1) = 13.  Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two distinct, real roots; the graphs of y = 2x^2 and y = x^2 - 5x - 1 intersect in two places whose x-coordinates are the real roots mentioned above.

Answer A is not correct as stated, but would be correct if we were to replace "the y-coordinates" with "the x-coordinates."  

Answer C would be correct if and only if we write y = x^2 - 5x - 1.

They have $49.00 left for desert because a ticket is $15 for each person 7 and older. So 15 × 3 people = $45.00. $1.50 per slice and they got 4 slices so 1.50 × 4 = $6.00. $45.00 + $6.00 = $51.00. $100 - $51 = $49.00
