You earn (4x+12)points after completing x levels of a video game and then lose (2x-5)points. Write an expression that represents that total number of points you have now.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The expression for total number of points gained = 2x+17

Points earned  for completing x levels =  4x+12.......(1)

Points lost in the video game = - (2x-5) [negative as they are lost]......(2)

Total Points gained  =  Algebraic  sum of equation 1  and equation 2 =

(4x+12) +  {- (2x-5) }  

Hence the expression for net points earned now = 4x+12 -2x +5 = 2x+17

Answer 2
Answer: We just put the two expressions together; (4x + 12) (earn) and (loose) (2x - 5)

Total points = (4x + 12) +  (2x - 5)          <- notice how we use a plus sign,

this is important as if we didn't it would change the answer.

For example, (5) - (-2) = 7 , whereas when we use a plus, (5) + (-2) = 3

p -> q is represented as "If you have a library card, then you can check out books"

~q -> ~p is represented as "If you cannot check out books, then you do not have a library card" This is contrapositive by definition.

q -> p is represented as "If you can check out books, then you have a library card" This is the converse

~p -> ~q is represented as "If you do not have library card, then you cannot check out books". This is the inverse

p <-> q is represented as "You have library card if and only if you can check out books". This is the biconditional.
