Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

collecting like terms we have:

5x-2x=-1+42

equating the terms..we have:

3x=41

divide both sides by the Co-efficient of x:

3x\3=42\3

x=39.6

1. take away five from twelve times f. 2. one-half of the sum of k and six 3.x squared minus the sum of 5 4.the sum of the produ

The expressions formed are,

12f -5
(k+6)/2
x²-x+5
ab+3c
24xy+g

Formation of expressions in 1, 2 and 3:

In 1, twelve times f is, 12f

Taking away 5, it becomes (12f-5)

In 2, sum of k and 6 is, (k+6)

One-half of the above quantity is, (k+6)/2

In 3, sum of 5 with x is, (x+5)

Now, x squared minus the above expression indicates (x²-x+5)

Formation of expressions in 4 and 5:

In 4, product of a and b, is ab and 3 times c is 3c

Sum of the expressions evaluated in the previous statement = ab+3c

In 5, 24 times the product of x and y is, 24xy

Adding, g in the above computed expression, we get, 24xy+g

Explain why (a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2 if and only if a=0 or b=0

const2013 [10]

Hope this helps! Because when you would fill in the variables 0=0 which which make the expression too that they’d equal the same.

help with number 2 please i have no idea how to do this. it would be very helpful if you can show the steps

So in this case, we have to replace the known value.
y=3
y=-2x+3

3=-2x+3

Then we leave our unknown value alone.
$\frac{3-3}{2}$ = x

In this case, our x value would be 0.

We check it...
3=-2(0)+3
3=0+3
3=3

So y=3 x=0

For the second one we have...
y=3x+2
y=-3x-4

For this we substitute the y in any of the equation...
3x+2=-3x-4

We move the unknown values to one side and the ones without unlown values to the other side...
3x+3x=-4-2

Then we solve
6x=-6

Then we leave the unknown value alone.
x= $\frac{-6}{6}$

Then solve for x.
x= -1

Then for our y value we return to one of the original equations and substitute the x value.
y=3x+2
y=3(-1)+2
y=-3+2
y=-1

y=-3x-4
y=-3(-1)-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So in this case we got that x= -1 and y= -1
