(3x − 5) − (4x + 6)
Pretend that there is a 1 in front of the first bracket.
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the second bracket.
Multiply the first bracket by 1
(1)(3x)=3x, (1)(-5)=-5
Multiply the second bracket by -1
(-1)(4)=-4, (-1)(6)=-6
3x-5-4x-6
3x-4x-5-6 ( combine like terms)
-x-11 
Answer: -x-11 or -11-x
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:  No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49 
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
 
        
             
        
        
        
E) 12 minutes
A normal curve has approximately 95% of graph between mean - 2sd and mean + 2sd
So 95% of the times will be between 0 and 12 minutes. 6 - 2x3 to 6 + 2x3
2.5% will take over 12 minutes
Strangely 2.5% will also take less than 0 minutes to process which shows the normal curve is not perfect in this example.
        
             
        
        
        
40 cm = 400 mm, so 400 mm / 18 mm = 200:9, or 22.22:1.
