Answer:

11a+3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-(-3-5a)-2a

Open the bracket first

8a+3+5a-2a

Collect like terms

8a+5a-2a+3

13a-2a+3

11a+3

So the final answer is 11a+3

The error is the that when you open the bracket the minus outside the bracket will multiply everything inside the bracket...and -×-=+

Answer:

The hypothesis for the test above will be stated as follows :

The claim to be tested is the alternative hypothesis, which is the negation of the Null hypothesis

H0 : μ < 14

H1 : μ ≥ 14

If the Null is rejected, then it means that the company's claim that the mean weight of its cereal being atleast 14 is valid ;

Then it means there is significant evidence to support the stance that the mean weight of cereal in the company's packet is atleast 14 oz.

atroni [7]

Complete question:

Which equation accurately represents this statement? Check all that apply.

Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8

A: -3-4.9x=12.8

B: 4.9x-(-3)=12.8

C: 3+4.9x=12.8

D: (4.9-3)x=12.8

E:  12.8=4.9x+3

Answer:

B: 4.9x-(-3)=12.8

C: 3+4.9x=12.8

E:  12.8=4.9x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The word equation can be expressed mathematically as follows

negative 3  → -3

less than 4.9 times a number , x →  4.9 x - (-3)

is same as 12.8  → 4.9 x - (-3) = 12.8

The equation can be expressed as

4.9 x - (-3) = 12.8

when you open the bracket, you multiply  -3 time  - 1 . MInus times minus is equals to plus. so you get

4.9 x + 3 = 12.8

12.8 = 4.9x+3
