First, we have to distribute 5(a+7) using the distributive property. We get 5a and 35. Then, we do the same with 2(a+4), getting 2a and 8. Lastly, we add both results. 5a + 2a and 8 + 35 = 7a + 43
Therefore, the answer would be 7a +73.

Mr. Wilson invested money in two accounts. His total investment was $20,000. If one account pays 5% in interest and the other pa

blagie [28]

a = amount invested at 5%

b = amount invested at 2%

now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.

$a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}$

now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

$0.05a~~ + ~~0.02(20000-a)~~ = ~~550\implies 0.05a+400-0.02a=550 \\\\\\ 0.03a+400=550\implies 0.03a=150\implies a=\cfrac{150}{0.03}\implies a=5000 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{24em}\stackrel{20000~~ - ~~5000}{b=15000}$

Help me with this question please, explain why u choose that answer and show ur steps

Setler [38]

Let’s condense the original expression and see if that’s one of the answers

-1/2(-3/2 x + 6x + 1) - 3x

First we distribute the -1/2

((-1/2)(-3/2 x) + (-1/2)(6x) + (-1/2)(1)) -3x

3/4x - 3x - 1/2 -3x

Combine like terms

(3/4 x - 3x - 3x) -1/2

-21/4 x - 1/2

We could make this a mixed number

-5 1/4 x - 1/2

(Mixed number: 5 times 4 plus one gets the numerator)

So the answer is D

Which expression is equivalent to log3 c/9?

stepladder [879]

Hello!

There is an existing logarithmic property that states that $log \frac{M}{N}$ is equal to $log M-logN$ .

Following that property, we can tell that $log \frac{c}{9}$ would be equal to $log(c)-log(9)$ .

ANSWER: $log(c)-log(9)$ (third option)
