Okay I am not 100% sure because that is an extremely confusing question. But here is what I got.
(A) 2c² = 2bc + ac/2 Given
(B) 4c² = 2bc + ac Multiplication and Distribution
(C) 4c = 4b + a Division and Distribution
(D) 4c - a + 4b Subtraction
(E) 4b = 4c - a Symmetric
2x=-12 simplified, the expression or solving for X would be X=-6
The integer 8 represents a gain of 8 yards.
f(x)=5x-3
use the substitution method
f(5)=(5)(5)-3
multiply the parentheses first
using: PEDMAS
P=Parentheses
E= Exponents
D=Division
M=Multiplication
A= Addition
S=Subtraction
(5)(5)=25
25-3
=22
answer:
f(5)=22
200 - (2x) = 42
200 - 42 = 2x
158/2 = 2x/2
x = 79
he is 79 years old
hope this helps
a wise 'old' man
