Answer: 2y - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem utilizes the Distributive Property of Multiplication.  It states that: a(x + y) = ax + ay.

Thus, utilizing this property (distributing -3), change the equation into:

5y - 3y - 6

Then, simply combine like terms to get:

2y - 6

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.

Yasmin purchased 6 heads of cabbage that each weighed 2 3/8 pounds. How much did the cabbage weigh all together?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

14\frac{1}{4} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to use multiplication.

Yamin purchased 6 heads of cabbage.

The weight of each cabbage = 2 \frac{3}{8}

First let's convert the mixed fraction 2\frac{3}{8} to improper fraction

2\frac{3}{8} = \frac{19}{8}

The weight of 6 heads of cabbage = 6 x \frac{19}{8}

= 114/8

= 14 \frac{2}{8}

We can reduce 2/8 = 1/4

= 14 \frac{1}{4}

Thank you.

Use the vertical line test to determine whether the graph shown to the right is the graph of a function
Andreas93 [3]

That's not a function.

Since a vertical line hits the graph more than once, if fails the test. (See graph below)

If it is a function, any vertical line you draw can only hit the graph once.
