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

Mathematics

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

a motel clerk counts his $1 and $10 bills at the end of the day. he finds that he has a total of 56 bills having a combined mone
alina1380 [7]
We can write a system of equations:

1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56

Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.

To find this we can solve using substitution.

Re-arrange the 2nd equation:

x + y = 56

Subtract 'y' to both sides:

x = -y + 56

Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.

1x + 10y = 182

1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182

-y + 56 + 10y = 182

Subtract 56 to both sides:

-y + 10y = 126

Combine like terms:

9y = 126

Divide 9 to both sides:

y = 14

Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.

x + y = 56

x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 to both sides:

x = 42

So our final answer is (42, 14).

This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!<br> Find AB and M
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC is an equilateral so all angles and sides are equal to each other

AB = 6

triangle DEF is an isosceles so two of its angles are equal to each other

a triangles angles add up to 180°

to find the measure of these angles we’ll write this equation:

x + x + 40 = 180

and solve for x

2x + 40 = 180

2x = 140

x = 70°

so mF is 70°

If Anita has read 55 of the 245 pages in her book, what percent of the book has she read?
givi [52]

Answer:

22.45%

To two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

A book has 245 pages and she has only read 55 of the pages. To get the percentage:

55/245 and then multiply it by 100.

55/245

=O.2245 (To four decimal places)

0.2245 x 100

22.45% (To two decimal places)

She has only read 22.45% of the book. To convert it to a whole number, that's 22% of the book has been read
