Maura writes an expression equivalent to 8a - (-3 - 5a) - 2a. Her work is in the picture. In what step does Maura make a mistake

? Describe her error and find the correct equivalent expression.
* 8a - (-3 - 5a) -2a *

Step 1: 8a + 3 - 5a - 2a
Step 2: (8a - 5a - 2a) + 3
Step 3: (3a - 2a) + 3
Step 4: a + 3

Answer:

11a + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : 8a + 3 - 5a - 2a

error => - 5a

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

= 8a + 3 + 5a - 2a

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

= 11a + 3

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 -×-=+

If 36a=45/b, then ab=
Ronch [10]

Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: a = x \: and \: b = y

36x =  \frac{45}{y}

36xy = 45

xy =  \frac{45}{36}

xy = 1.25

therefore \: ab \: is \: 1.25

The table shows y as a function of x. Suppose a point is added to this table. Which choice gives a point that preserves the func
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

<em>A) (-5,7)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions and Relations</u>

A set of values A can have a relation with another set B as long as at least one element of A has at least one image in B. Functions are special relations where each element of A (the domain of the function) has one and only one image on B (the range of the function).

By looking at the options, we can see that x=9, x=-8, and x=-1 already have defined values in Y, so if we define another value for any of them the relation will stop being a function. The only possible choice to preserve the function is the option

\boxed{A)\ (-5,7)}

Which function has a simplified base of 4^3√4?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The function is f(x) = 4(\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2x}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose from options the exponential function which has a simplified base of 4∛4 i.e. ∛(256).

Now, the exponential function in the option III will be the answer.

The function is f(x) = 4(\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2x}.

So, the base is (\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2} = \sqrt[3]{16^{2}} = \sqrt[3]{256} = 4\sqrt[3]{4}. (Answer)

The general formula of an exponential function is f(x) = a(b)^{x} , where b is called the base of the function.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Length of diagonal of the rectangle=

√( length) ²+( breadth) ²

=√(20) ²+(12) ²

=√400+144
