Simplify (2x + 3)(x – 4) = ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) to multiply:

2x^2-8x+3x-12

This can be simplified even more into:

2x^2-5x-12.

Hope this helped!

Sally needs to have some drywall and insulation work done in her house. She has received a quote from a professional drywall contractor to complete her repairs for $1,200. Her neighbor Steve says he can complete the same job for $800. Sally could use a credit card to pay the contractor, but Steve can only accept cash. Sally’s credit card has a 14% APR for credit purchases and a 32% interest rate for cash advances. Expecting to pay $50 of the principle plus appropriate interest each month, Sally estimates that it would take her 24 months to pay off the contractor balance and 16 months to pay off the cash advance balance. In the end, would it be cheaper for Sally to hire the contractor or her neighbor to complete the repairs?

There are chickens and pigs in a farm yard? There are 68 feet and 23 tails in the farm yard. How many chickens and how many pigs does grandma have?

Answers

You have animals with 4 legs, and animals with 2 legs. Both animals only have one tail. So, given that they only have one tail, there are only 23 animals in the farmyard. 
Now, the equation would be, 
(68)/(x) =23
68=23x
(68)/(23) =x

Answer:

12 chickens and 11 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that...

Chickens have 2 feet and 1 tail.

Pigs have 4 feet and 1 tail.

Let c represent chickens.

Let p represent pigs.

We need to create two equations. One for feet, and one for tails.

Tails:

Because each animal has 1 tail, we can say that the number of pigs, (p) plus the number of chickens, (c) must equal 23. So...

c + p = 23

Feet:

Because each chicken has two feet, and each pig has 4 feet, we can say that 2 times the number of chickens, (c) plus 4 times the number of pigs, (p) needs to equal 68. So...

2c + 4p = 68

Now we have two equations.

2c + 4p = 68

and

c + p = 23

We can use the substitution method to find c and p.  The substitution method involves solving for one of the variables with one of the equations, then placing it into the other equation, so that you only have one variable to solve for, which you can do with simple algebra.

Solve for c

c + p = 23

c = 23 - p

Add that to the other equation.

2c + 4p = 68

2(23 - p) + 4p = 68

Solve for p

46 - 2p + 4p = 68

46 + 2p = 68

2p = 22

p = 11

Now that we know p, we can plug that into one of the equations to find c.

c + p = 23

c + (11) = 23

c = 12

Now we have c and p.
