Answer:

(-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question :

5x - x + 8

First you can solve the equation simply like this.

5x - x + 8

4x + 8

Now they've given that,

x = (-4)

Now, you have to put -4 instead of x and solve the equation.

Let us solve now.

4 x + 8

4 × (-4) + 8

-16 + 8

(-8)

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

Joe is building a post for his mailbox. To find the correct dimensions, he needs to expand this expression: (x-3) (x-9) (x-4) Se

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)=x^3-16x^2+75x-108$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression to expand is given as:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)$

Let us expand the first two binomials of the given expression using FOIL method.

The FOIL method states that:

$(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$

$(x-3)(x-9)=(x\times x)+(x\times -9)+(-3\times x)+(-3\times -9)\\\\(x-3)(x-9)=x^2-9x-3x+27=x^2-12x+27$

Now, let us multiply the result with the remaining binomial. Multiplying each term of the trinomial with each term of the binomial, we get:

$(x^2-12x+27)(x-4)\\\\= (x^2\times x)+ (x^2\times -4)+(-12x\times x)+(-12x\times -4)+(27\times x)+(27\times -4)\\\\=x^3-4x^2-12x^2+48x+27x-108\\\\=x^3-16x^2+75x-108...........(\because-12x^2-4x^2=-16x^2,48x+27x=75x)$

Therefore, the equivalent expression after expanding is given as:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)=x^3-16x^2+75x-108$

Which type of transformation maps trapezoid PQRS onto trapezoid P'Q'R'S'? reflection rotation translation dilation

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture , it can be seen that the size of trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is decreased from trapezoid PQRS .

Reflection , rotation and translation are rigid motions that produces congruent images and do not change the size of the shapes.

But dilation is not a rigid motion because it changes the size of the shape by using a scale factor.

Hence, the transformation maps trapezoid PQRS onto trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is "Dilation".
