Simplify the expression using the distributive property.
1/4(4x-8)-2(5x+6)

identify the expression in its simplest form.
11x + 10
x – 14 – 10x
1x – 2 – 10x – 12
–9x – 14

-9x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute (multiply) the 1/4 to everything in the parentheses.

1/4 * 4x = 1x or x       1/4 * -8 = -2

Then you distribute (multiply) the -2 to everything in the parentheses.

-2 * 5x  = -10x       -2 * 6 = -12

Then you put the equations together.

x - 2 - 10x - 12

Then you combine like terms.

x - 10x = -9x      -2 - 12 = -14

Finally you get your answer in simplest form.

-9x - 14

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

step-by-step explanation:

a. 32 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

here we have to use the rule.

m∠e = 1/2 (major arc - minor arc)

m∠e = 1/2 (212 - 148)

m∠e = 1/2 (64)

m∠e = 32 degrees

answer: a. 32 degrees
