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

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

180°

step-by-step explanation:

sum of equilateral triangle=180°

< n=60°

< m=120°°[angle supplementary of equilateral angle]

< m+< r+< x=360°(sum of exterior angle of triangle)
