Okay, just break it up so you're not overwhelming yourself or anything :)
So here, do it in steps-

Let's do 5(3 + t) first:
Distribute the 5, or in non-mathematical terms, just multiply 5 by 3 and t. This will give you 15 + 5t.

Now onto -3(t + 1):
Again, just multiply -3 by t and 1. This will come out to: -3t - 3.

*Note: the 3 is negative because it's "MINUS 3" in the original equation and remember that any number times a negative, if it isn't negative itself, will turn out to be negative.... (aka "-" x "-" = "+" | "+" x "+" = "+" | "-" x "+" = "-")*

ANYWAY
Now just put both answer together and you get:
15 + 5t -3t - 3. You can only add and minus the LIKETERMS (which are the things that are the same) - in this case, the liketerms are 15 and -3 ,,,, AND 5t and -3t.

15 - 3 = 12
5t - 3t = 2t

12 + 2t is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

0 is the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of cards = 4

Cards with labels:

1,3,5,7

Tim will select one card from the box. We have to find the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6.

Formula:

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

\text{P(Label 6) = }\dfrac{0}{4}= 0

0 is the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6. Thus, it is an impossible event.

dexar [7]

Answer:

1/2 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversions: 48 oz = 3 lb

The ratio in the new pot is 3*2 tbs : 3 pounds , or just 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. This means for every two tbs of powder, 1 lb of beef is used. This means that for every one tbs, 1/2 lb of beef is used.
