5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b
= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)
= 2a - 4b
The correct answer is -1.
In order to solve this, we need to split into the positive and negative version of the answers. Let's start with the positive version.
2 - x < 4
-x < 2
x > -2 ----> NOTE: When we divide by -1, we have to change the direction of the sign.
Now we'll do the negative version.
2 - x > -4
-x > -6
x < 6
So we know the number must be greater than -2, but less than 6. The only number on this list that fits that is -1.
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps
Equation A find “m” and “b”:
“B” is the y-intercept when x = 0. They give this in the table as “-2” so b = -2
Find slope (m) = (-8)-(-2)/(-2)-0 = 3
Equation A is y = 3x - 2 (y = mx + b)
Equation B find “m” and “b”:
Find m = (-9)-(-5)/(-3)-(-1) = 2
To find be, plug in m, x, and y from ANY coordinates in table b into y = mx + b:
-9 = 2(-3) + b
-9 = -6 + b
b = -3
Equation b is y = 2x -3
Use substitution and substitute all of equation “b” for “y” in equation a:
2x - 3 = 3x - 2
Algebra: x = -1
Plug back into equation a:
y = 3(-1) -2
y = -5
x = -1
(-1, -5) final answer (B)
14 + 12 = 26
26 + 10 = 36
36 + 8 = 44
44 + 6 = 50
(notice the pattern)
14, 26, 36, 44, 50
