In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (4 x + 3) + 4 = 3 x minus (2 x + 4), Giovanni first applies the distributiv

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - (2x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Gio applies the distributive property, the equation above is the result. Naturally, I look at the 1st parenthesis I see and start the 1st distributive property there first. The 2nd distributive property would be the other parenthesis where you multiply by -1, so you would get 8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - 2x - 4

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.

A pole that is 3.5m tall casts a shadow that is 1.7m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 36.5m long

GalinKa [24]

1.)Convert into Proportion: 3.5/1.7=x/36.5
2.)Cross Multiply: 1.7x=127.75
3.)Simplify and Solve: x=75.14

x=75.14m tall

Write a whole number and a fraction greater than 1 to name the part filled. think 1 container = 1?

zvonat [6]

<span>A whole number greater than 1 could be 2,3,4,5... And so on. A fraction greater than 1 is any fraction where the top number (numerator) is greater than the bottom number (denominator) for example 7/5</span>
