Simplify this algebraic expression completely 5y - 3(y+2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Umnica [9.8K]2 years ago
4 0

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.

Given A = {x | x < 1}, B = {x | x ≥ 5}, and C = {x | x = 5}, match the following items. 1. A B Ø 2. A C {x | x ≥ 5} 3. B C {x
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The matching is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sets are defined as

A = {x | x < 1}

It means all the values of x which are less than 1.

B = {x | x ≥ 5}

It means all the values of x which are greater than or equal to 5.

C = {x | x = 5}

It means all the value of x is 5.

Union of two sets contains all the elements of both sets.

Intersection of two sets contains only common elements of both sets.

The matching is shown below.

        Sets                              Correct value

1.     A ∪ B                         {x | x < 1 or x ≥ 5}

2. A ∪ C                         {x | x < 1 or x = 5}

3. B ∪ C                         {x | x ≥ 5}

4. A ∩ B                         Ø

5. B ∩ C                         {x | x = 5}

Alan solved the proportion StartFraction x over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction 8 over 25 EndFraction as shown. StartFraction x
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion that Alan solved was

x/200 = 8/25

His working as shown was

(8)(x) = (25) (200)

8x = 5000

He divided both sides of the equation by 8. It became

8x/8 = 5000/8

x = 625

The correct steps are

25x = 200 × 8 = 1600

Dividing both sides of the equation by 25, it becomes

x = 1600/25

x = 64

Alan's error were:

1) He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200.

2)He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8.

The graph of a quadratic function does not cross the x-axis, but crosses the y-axis in one place.
natulia [17]

Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has a degree of 2 so there will be two roots.  The statement says the function does NOT CROSS THE X-AXIS so there are no real roots. That means both roots must be imaginary (complex).
