Hi!
<h3>Use the distribution property</h3>
1.4t — 0.4 * t - 0.4 * —3.1 = 5.8
1.4t — 0.4t - 1.24 = 5.8
<h3>Simplify</h3>
1t - 1.24 = 5.8
<h3>Add 1.24 to both sides</h3>
1t - 1.24 + 1.24 = 5.8 + 1.24
1t = 7.04
<u>t = 7.04</u>
<h2>The answer is t = 7.04</h2>
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
a) 
b) 2012, 1049 stores. 2014, 1041 stores. c) Yes it is a downsizing company.
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
s=year | f(s) = number of stores per year
1 | 1078
4| 1067
s=1 in 2003
b) For 2012, s=9. For 2014, s=11
c) In deed. Since the function shows a decreasing amount of JC Penney stores. Maybe this is a downsizing from this company, progressively closing some stores.
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54.
For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.
5x + 10x = 180
15x = 180
X = 12
5 x 12 = 60
10 x 12 = 120
The angles are 60° and 120°
