$8-4(-x+5)\\\\\text{use distributive property}\\\\8+(-4)(-x)+(-4)(5)=8+4x-20=4x+(8-20)=\boxed{4x-12}$

First you distribute...
8 + 4x - 20
Then you simplify...
4x - 12
Done

A. One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, and Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen. How did Annie’s and Carme

Debora [2.8K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Let Annie's weight be = a

Let Benjie's weighs = b

Let Carmen's weight be = c

One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, equation forms:

$a=b+24$ ......(1)

Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen.

In ounces:

1 pound = 16 ounces

$\frac{13}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{13}{4}\times16=52$ ounces

$b=c-52$ or

$c=b+52$ ......(2)

Now adding (1) and (2), we get

a+b=b+24+c-52

=> $a=c-28$

This gives Annie weighs 28 ounces less than Carmen.

We cannot know anyone's actual weight, as we only know their relative weights.

Which graph represents the function of f(x) = the quantity of 9 x squared plus 9 x minus 18, all over 3 x plus 6

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is the option C

graph of $3x$ minus $3$ , with discontinuity at negative $2$ , negative $9$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=\frac{9x^{2}+9x-18}{3x+6}$

Simplify

$f(x)=9\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{3(x+2)}$

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}$

Step 1

Convert to a factored form the numerator

$x^{2}+x-2=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+x=2$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2+0.25$

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2.25$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+0.5)^{2}=2.25$

Square root both sides

$x+0.5=(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5+1.5=1$

$x=-0.5-1.5=-2$

$x^{2}+x-2=(x-1)(x+2)$

Step 2

Simplify the function f(x)

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}$

The domain of the function f(x) is all real numbers except the number $x=-2$

Because the denominator can not be zero

$f(x)=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}=3(x-1)=3x-3$

$f(x)=3x-3$ ------> with a discontinuity at $x=-2$

$f(-2)=3(-2)-3=-9$

The discontinuity is at point $(-2,-9)$

The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is . The

ziro4ka [17]

Question:

Sal is trying to determine which cell phone and service plan to buy for his mother. The first phone costs $100 and $55 per month for unlimited usage. The second phone costs $150 and $51 per month for unlimited usage.

The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is .

The solution to the inequality is .

Sal’s mother would have to keep the second cell phone plan for at least months in order for it to be less expensive.

Answer:

a. $150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

b. $x > 12.5$

c. At least 13 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First Phone;

$Cost = \$100$

$Additional = \$55$ (monthly)

Second Phone;

$Cost = \$150$

$Additional = \$51$ (monthly)

Solving (a): The inequality

Represent the number of months with x

The first phone is expressed as:

$100 + 55x$

The second phone is expressed as:

$150 + 51x$

For the second to be less expensive that the first, the inequality is:

$150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

Solving (b): Inequality Solution

$150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$

Collect Like Terms

$51x-55x$

$-4x$

Solve for x

$x > -50/-4$

$x > 12.5$

Solving (c): Interpret the solution in (b)

$x > 12.5$ implies 13, 14, 15....

Hence, She'll keep the second phone for a period of at least 13 months
