Let  g(x)=4x  and  h(x)=x−6.  Find  (g−h)(−10).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h=g

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Not really. @katragaddasaichandra

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\(4x \neq x-6\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

@sydneenoelled You there?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\((4x - x-6)(-10)\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\((4x - (x-6))(-10)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, im here. I wrote a whole message and did the work but it didn't send

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(g-h)(-10) = g(-10)-h(-10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like im missing x

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\((4x(-10))-((x-6)-10)\)

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Do them one at a time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40-1+6-10 I am distributing -1 to x-6 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-41x+16

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-41x-4

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\((4x(-10))=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x(-10) = -40

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Distributing that would be \(\ -40x\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes -40x and then -(x-6) is -1+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x+6

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\((x-6)(-10)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10x+60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40x-10x+60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-50x+60?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

No. It would be -40x(-)-10x+60.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

-40x+10x+60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-30x+60 the signs always get me

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

That's the simplified version.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says that is not the answer. answer is -24

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

That can never be the answer.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

-24 is absolutely wrong.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Tell your teacher about it. There may have been a mistake in the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its an online homework. it doesn't tell me how to do it or show me how I did it wrong. just shows me correct answer.
