Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{2b+3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, first you need to simplify the expression to use a distributive property.

Distributive property:

$\sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}$

5+2b-2

Switch sides.

2b+5-2

Combine like terms.

You have to subtract by the numbers from left to right.

Solve.

5-2=3

2b+3

So, the correct answer is 2b+3.

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the values of y by substituting the values of x in the expression x^2 + 3x - 1.

So f(-4) = (-4)^2 + 3(-4) - 1 = 16-12-1 = 3

in the same way f(-3) = -1, f(-2) = -3, f(-1) = -3,

f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 3.

Now plot the points (-4, 3) , (-3, -1) and so on

Then you can read the values off this graph.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

believe it is "the median is 82."

Step-by-step explanation:

55,66,82,89,90,92

there are 6 numbers so in order to find the median here you would have to add 82 and 89 together and then divide by 2.

82+89=171

171/2=85.5

hence "the median is 82." is the right answer

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 37 millimeters long. One leg of the right triangle is 12 millimeters long. What is the len

Anna35 [415]

For a right triangle. if the legs are length a and b and hypotonse is c then
a²+b²=c²

given
a lig is 12
hypotonse is 37

a=12
c=37

12²+b²=37²
144+b²=1369
minus 144 both sides
b^2=1225
sqrt both sides
b=35

the other leg is 35 mm
