Question

Quick question.
Which expression is equivalent to 8a + 14?

2(2a + 12)
4(4a + 10)
4(2a + 8)
2(4a + 7)

Answer 1

i can help you

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

first lets find out what the original equation equals

Answer 4

Distribute 2 and 4 into the equations.

Answer 5

a=1.75

Answer 6

so just insert 1.75 for all the equations with a and see what you get

Answer 7

what do you mean like this? a(4*2)

Answer 8

D. could work

Answer 9

the if we distribute that that would be a(2) + a(4) right?

Answer 10

For me, it's an eyeball problem. Just look at it and write down the answer.

8 is more than half of 14. No matter what else happens, this relationship should always remain.

2(2a + 12) -- 2 is less than half of 12 - no good.
4(4a + 10) -- 4 is less than half of 10 - no good.
4(2a + 8) -- 2 is less than half of 8 - no good.
2(4a + 7) -- We could have something, here.

Answer 11

oh ok thank you

Answer 12

Cuz 2(4a+7) is the same as (2*4a)+(2*7)

@iGreen i have a question, was 1.75 and everything i said right or was i not explaining it right i really want to know cuz i want to get better at helping people

Answer 29

@iGreen i got the Chad wants to buy some books over the Internet. Each book costs $10.01 and has a shipping cost of $9.96 per order. If Chad wants to spend no more than $50 for his books, which inequality shows the maximum number of books, p, that he can buy? question wrong

Answer 30

@iGreen what did we do wrong?

Answer 31

@iGreen?

Answer 32

do you have choices for that problem

Answer 33

9.96p − 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 1

9.96p + 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 2

9.96 − 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 3

9.96 + 10.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 4

Answer 34

we got b but thats not correct

Answer 35

the wierd marks are

Answer 36

less than and equil to

Answer 37

@iGreen

Answer 38

d

Answer 39

how is it d?

Answer 40

because we know that each book is 10.01 so times that by 4 and get 40.04 plus he shipping fee of 9.96 which gives you exactly 50 dollars...the word problem says he doesnt want to spend anything MORE than 50 dollars

Answer 41

Oh

Answer 42

with that equation he spends exactly 50 dollars

Answer 43

One question per post.

Answer 44

does that make sense?

Answer 45

yes thank you

Answer 46

no problem if you need more help I am here just ask for me

Answer 47

ok thank you

Answer 48

@iGreen It is a fair question.

Two considerations:

1) If several errors have been made, making the whole discussion confusing, I have no problem simply clearing up the whole mess with a thorough solution.

2) If I have an entirely different approach that I think almost certainly was not presented in class or in course materials, I have no problem presenting the whole of the idea.

The Code of Conduct says "just give them an answer". There is no proscription for thorough and complete process discussion.

It certainly is possible that not everyone will agree with this assessment.
