We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.
-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).
After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.
-2x + 2 - 8x
Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x + 2
The final answer to the question is therefore A.
Answer:
#15) B. 30 mn^5
#17) B. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>#15:</h2>
The area of a trapezoid is given in the formula: 1/2(a + b) * h, where a is the length of the top of the trapezoid, b is the length of the bottom of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
All of these measurements are given so all that you need to do is to substitute these values into the formula.
Substitute 3 for a, 9 for b, and 5 for h.
Solve inside the parentheses first. Add 3 and 9.
Multiply 12 and 1/2 together.
Multiply 6 and 5.
We need to figure out if the area is to the 5th or 6th power. When we added 3 and 9 together, we combined like terms so the exponent stayed to the 3rd power.
After multiplying this ^3 by the 5mn^2, the exponent becomes to the 5th power because you add exponents when multiplying.
Therefore the final answer is B. 30 mn^5.
<h2>#17:</h2>
When going down from 32 to 8 to 2, you can see that each number is being divided by 4.
32 / 4 = 8...
8 / 4 = 2...
So to find the next number in this sequence you would divide 2 by 4.
The answer is B. 1/2.
Answer:
Base=8 feet
Height=17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Base=x
Height=3x-7
Area=68 square feet
Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height
68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)
Cross product
68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)
136 = 3x^2 - 7x
3x^2 - 7x - 136=0
Using quadratic formula
x= -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a
= -(-7) +or- √(-7)^2 - (4)(3)(-136) / 2(3)
= 7 +or- √49 - (-1632) / 6
= 7 +or- √49+1632) / 6
= 7 +or- √1681 / 6
=7 +or- 41 /6
x= 7+41 / 6 or 7-41 / 6
=48/6 or -34/6
=8 or -17/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Base=x
Height=3x-7
Area=68 square feet
Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height
68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)
Cross product
68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)
136 = 3x^2 - 7x
3x^2 - 7x - 136=0
Base of the boat can't be a negative value
Therefore,
Base = x = 8 feet
Height= 3x-7
=3(8)-7
=24-7
=17 feet
