Answer:

1.) -2x + 24

2.) 3x + 21

3.) 5x - 17

4.) 15x

5.) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The first step to simplify this equation is to combine like terms. Also remember to always keep the sign before the number/variable to use when combining like terms.

3x + 14 - 5x + 10

3x - 5x + 14 + 10

-2x + 24

2.) Use distributive property to distribute the 3 to x and 7. Keep the sign.

3(x + 7)

3x + 21

3.) Use distributive property to distribute the 5 to x and 4 then add three. Keep the signs. Combine like terms.

5(x - 4) + 3

5x - 20 + 3

5x - 17

4.) Once again, use distributive property to distribute the 3x to x and 4. When multiplying 3x times x just think of x with a 1 in front of it (1x) and just multiply 3 times 1. Carry the x when multiplying 4x times 4. Combine like terms.

3x (x + 4)

3x + 12x

15x

5.) All you have to do is replace x in "3x" and solve.

3(10) - 12

30 - 12

If you have any additional questions feel free to ask me or your teacher so you can really master what you're learning. :)

Answer:

1. -2x+24

2. 3x+21

3. 5x-17

4. 3x²+12x

5. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 3(x)+3(7)=3x+21

3. 5(x)+5(-4)+3= 5x-20+3=5x-17

4. 3x(x)+3x(4)=3x²+12x

5. 3(10)-12=30-12=18

Snowcat [4.5K]

You have to watch 30 movies to earn a free movie pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Points earned for each movie = 2 points

Current points = 40 points

Free movie pass = 100 points

Let,

x be the number of movies you have to watch.

2*number of movies + current points = 100

$2x+40=100$

Subtracting 40 from both sides

$2x+40-40=100-40\\2x=60$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\\x=30$

You have to watch 30 movies to earn a free movie pass.

Suppose you want to study the relationship between smoking and cancer. You assume that smoking is a cause of cancer. Studies hav

finlep [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

In the above example cancer is an independent variable. (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to explain the choice made, let m first explain what independent and dependent variables are:

Independent variable: An independent variable is a variable that is under the direct control of the experimenter, and can be changed at will. In this example, the number of cigarettes or amount of tobacco smoked is the independent variable because it can be manipulated at will, to determine the outcome of the dependent variable.

Dependent variable: A dependent variable is a variable that the experimenter sets out to study. The independent variable is not under the direct manipulation of the experimenter but has values that come about as a result of the change of the independent variable. In this example, cancer is the dependent variable, because it is the result of the manipulation of the amount of tobacco.

Therefore, it is not true to say that cancer is the independent variable as seen in option b

Who is taking in more calories if the small bag of snickers are the exact same size: A person in a group where 5 people are shar

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of calories in one bag of snickers =x

Number of calories in 3 small bags of snickers =3x

If 5 people share 3 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share $=\dfrac{3x}{5}$

Number of calories in 2 small bags of snickers =2x

If 7 people share 2 small bags of snickers, 1 person's share $=\dfrac{2x}{7}$

We then compare the two.

Let x=1

$\dfrac{3}{5}=0.6$ calories per person\\\dfrac{2}{7}=0.29$ calories per person$

Therefore, a person in a group where 5 people are sharing 3 small bags of snickers gets more calories.
