Simplify the expression below.
12a−8−5a+12

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12a - 8 - 5a + 12

= 7a + 4

Hope it will help :)

Answer 2

Answer:

7a + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's rewrite this expression to combine like terms:

12a – 8 – 5a + 12  — I bolded the constants and underlined the expressions with variables

12a – 5a – 8 + 12  — it looks a little easier regrouped, doesn't it?

The last two terms are easy, right?

12 – 8 = 4  — simplify with subtraction

We'll focus on the first two terms now. Let's rewrite the terms with variables attached to make the subtraction easier:

a(12 – 5) = a(7) = 7a

We could also think of it this way: multiplication is just repeated addition.

12a = a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a (we just add a to itself 12 times)

5a = a + a + a + a + a (we just add a to itself 5 times)

Subtracting this expression would then look like this:

a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a – (a + a + a + a + a)

a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + aaaaaa

Five of the a values will cancel out, and to show this, we can rewrite the expression once more, like this:

aa + aa + aa + aa + aa + a + a + a + a + a + a + a

The five a values cancel out and leave us with this:

a + a + a + a + a + a + a

How many a values are added together now? Seven of them, right? We add a to itself 7 times. We can then rewrite that expression as 7a.

Using the [12 – 8 = 4] expression from above, we add the 4 to the 7a to find our final answer: 7a + 4

I hope this helps increase your understanding of the concept! Have a great day!

Answer:

4) wall = 114 ft^2

$118.56 to paint

5) 77 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

4) (15 x 8)-(2 x 3)=120-6=114 ft^2

114 x $1.04 = $118.56

5) (14 x 3.5) + (8 x 3.5) = 49 + 28 = 77 cm^2

Answer:

4:

114,$118.56

5. 77

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the wall, you multiply 15 x 8, then subtract (2 x 3) from that answer.

15 x 8 = 120

120 - (3 x 2) =

120 - 6 = 114ft^2

To find the cost, multiply the area by the cost:

1.04 x 114 = $118.56

Since the side with 3.5 cm is congruent with another side, that means that side is also 3.5 cm. I like to break up the figure in this situation, into 2 rectangles. The first is 8 cm x 3.5 cm, and the other being 3.5 cm x 14 cm.

8 x 3.5 = 28 cm^2

14 x 3.5 = 49cm^2

Add together to get the area:

49 + 28 = 77 cm^2

What is the absolute value?

Answer:

228

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value is total steps away from zero. it's always positive. so the abs of a negative number is just the positive of that number.

Answer:

228

Step-by-step explain

The absolute value is the distance. ... If there is an absolute value of a negative number (l-6l), the distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance. So if the distance is always positive, then the absolute value will always be positive.

Which integer represents this scenario?


an elevator goes down 2 floors

Answers

Answer:

We usually define the cases like this as follows:

If we go upwards N units, then we add N.

If we go downwards N units, then we subtract N.

In this case, suppose that the elevator is originally on the floor K (can be any integer number larger or equal than 2)

Then the elevator goes down 2 floors.

Then now the elevator will be on the floor (K - 2)

Then the integer that represents this scenario is -2, which represents the change in the floor number where the elevator is.

Shade 12 squares on the 4-by-10 grid.

What percent to is shaded?

Answers

On a 10 by 4 grid, there would be 40 squares. If you were to shade 12 of those squares, it can be shown as the fraction:

[tex]\frac{12}{40}[/tex]

12/40 = 0.3

to get a percentage, we would have to multiply by 100

30% is to be shaded

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of squares: 4*10=40

Shaded squares: 12

Fraction of shaded squares: 12/40

If you make the denominator 100, then the numerator is the percentage:

[tex]\frac{12}{40} * \frac{2.5}{2.5}=\frac{30}{100}[/tex]

Aaron is twice as old as Ryan.In 3 years,the sum of their ages will be 30 years.Find Aaron′s present age ​

Answers

Answer:

If we take Ryan's age as 'x' then we have Aaron's age as '2x'

Now, we have the sum of their ages after 3 years as 30.

So  according to question, we can prepare an equation which is

2x+3+x+3 = 30

= 3x+6 = 30

= 3x = 30-6

= 3x = 24

= x = 24÷3

= x = 8

Thus, Ryan' is 8 years old now.

Now we need to find Aaron's age, and this can be done easily as we have already made an expression fore Aarons age, i.e., '2x'

So 2x= 2×8

= 16.

So we have Aaron's age-16,

Ryan's age-8

Ok so first, let’s see it this way

Aaron: x *2
Ryan: x

So basically 3 in total. Since 30 is already divisible by three we can go from there. Then we will get original age.

30/3 = 10

Aaron = 10 *2
Ryan = 10

This is their ages AFTER the three years. So now, we just subtract to find original age.

20-3= 17
20-3 = 7

Aaron is 17.
Ryan is 7.

8 23/40

8 and 5 have 40 in common. To get from 8 to 40 you need to multiply by 5. You have to do the same to the top and bottom numbers in the fraction. 3/8 turns into 15/40. To get from 5 to 40, you need to multiply by 8. Again, u have to do the same for the top and bottom. 1/5 turns into 8/40. 15/40 + 8/40 = 23/40. Add the whole numbers, 6 and 2, to get 8. So the answer in 8 23/40. Hope this helps!
