$4x + 8 -3x -3$
$(4x-3x) + (8-3)$
$x + 5$

Therefore, the answer is x + 5.

Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step Solution:

<u>First, we will simplify the distributive property, then we will simplify and obtain our result.</u>

(4x + 8) - 3(x + 1)
=> 4x + 8 - 3x - 3
=> x + 8 - 3
=> x + 5

Hence, the simplified expression is x + 5.

We can check each of these using the Pythagorean Theorem, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
Option A:
$.5^2 + 1.2^2 = 1.3^2

$
.25 + 1.44 = 1.691.69 = 1.69
This option works
Option B
$1^2 + 2^2 = 3^2$
1 + 4 = 9
5 ≠ 9
This option does not work, but let's check the others to make sure
Option C:
$6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2$
36 + 64 = 100
100 = 100
This option works
Option D:
$3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25
This option works

So, after doing the calculations, we see that option B does not work

A retailer planned to buy some computers from a total of sh 1800000. Before the retailer could buy the computers the price per u

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

50 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

After reduction, he bought x computers hence price per unit was 1800000/x

Before reduction, price per unit was 1800000/(x-5)

The difference in the price is 4000 hence

$\frac {1800000}{x}-\frac {1800000}{x-5}=4000\\4x^{2}-20x+9000=0\\x^{2}-5x+2250=0\\(x+45)(x-50)=0\\x=50 or -45$

Therefore, x=50
