2(a-2)=3(a-5) Distrubutive Property

1 answer:

5 0

So in distributive property you multiply the outside number by the two inside so in this case 2(a) + 2(-2) = 3(a) + 3(-5)
Which will give you
2a+ - 4 = 3a + - 15
Or
2a-4=3a-15
Then if your solving for a your can subtract 3a from 2a giving you
- a-4=-15
Then add 4 to - 15
-a =-11
Then divide by negative 1 (this is so a isn't negative)
A=11
Hope this helps!

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(x−2)=6x+18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−2)=6x+18

(4)(x)+(4)(−2)=6x+18(Distribute)

4x+−8=6x+18

4x−8=6x+18

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

4x−8−6x=6x+18−6x

−2x−8=18

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−2x−8+8=18+8

−2x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x/−2=26/−2

x=−13

Answer:

x=−13

Multiply 2x-5y= -21 by 3 to make it 6x-15y= -63
Multiply 3x-3y= -18 by -5 to make it -15x+15y=90

This cancels the y’s out which leaves us with

6x=-63
&
-15x=90

x for 6x=-63 equals - 10.5 so x is - 10.5 and for -15x=90, x= -6

Then you plug in x into any equation you’d like to find y.

Let’s plug in - 10.5 into 6x... equation.

6(- 10.5)-15y=-63

63-15y= -63
-63 -63

-15y=0
y=0 and x= - 10.5. When you plug in this values it makes the equation true!

But the correct answer is the first one north. Sorry if I’m doing too much hahah

If I’m confusing here’s the right answer...

6x-15y= -63
-15x+15y=90

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Rotation, Reflection, dilation, and translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation: Just rotating the shape; spinning the shape around a point

Reflection: Your shape is either reflecting on the x axis or y axis meaning it is either side by side (y) or up and down (x)

Dilation: Your shape is either going to shrink or get bigger

Translation: Shifting all the points of the figure
