Answer:

2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To expand (using the distributive property) multiply the number outside the bracket i.e. in this case '2', with the values inside the brackets.

So multiply '2' and 'x' and '2' and 5' and add or subtract on basis of whether the second value is positive or negative.

2(x + 5)

= (2*x)+(2*5)

=2x+10

extention note: be careful when the symbol within the equation within the brackets is a subtraction because it implies that the second value would instead be a negative number and should be treated as such.

an example

2(x-5)

= (2*x)+(2*-5)

=2x -10

Anyhow, I hope this helped!

Answer:

39.5 miles/gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 gallons of gas used to drive 237 miles

The rate of her car uses gas in miles per gallon =

$\frac{237 miles}{6 gallons} = \frac{237}{6} = 39.5 \ miles/gallons$

Which mean the car will consume 1 gallon for each 39.5 miles.

Hi there
The formula of the present value of annuity ordinary is
Pv=pmt [(1-(1+r/k)^(-kn))÷(r/k)]
So we need to find the monthly payment pmt
Pmt=pv÷[(1-(1+r/k)^(-kn))÷(r/k)]
Pv present value 205000
R interest rate 0.056
K compounded monthly 12
N time 30

PMT=205,000÷((1−(1+0.056÷12)^(
−12×30))÷(0.056÷12))
=1,176.86...answer

Hope it helps
