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 -×-=+

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Package A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The reason that package A is a better deal is beacause it goes down by a fixed rate, not by a percentage. If you get 15 carwashes, you will pay nothing for the 15th, but even if you washed your car 100 times with Package B, you would still pay something!

Have a great day!

An urn contains six chips, numbered 1 through 6. two are chosen at random and their numbers are added together. what is the prob
vitfil [10]
<span>2/15 if drawn without replacement. 1/9 if drawn with replacement. Assuming that the chips are drawn without replacement, there are 6 * 5 different possibilities. And that's a low enough number to exhaustively enumerate them. So they are: 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 Of the above 30 possible draws, there are 4 that add up to 5. So the probability is 4/30 = 2/15 If the draw is done with replacement, then there are 36 possible draws. Once again, small enough to exhaustively list, they are: 1,1 : 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,2 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3,3 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,4 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,5 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 : 6,6 And of the above 36 possibilities, exactly 4 add up to 5. So you have 4/36 = 1/9</span>

Andrew believes the honor roll students at his school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the math class they request.
Artist 52 [7]
<span>                                                            Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested        315               64                   379
Did not get math class requested        41               80                   121

Honor roll: request granted: 315/356 = 0.88 x 100% = 88%

Which rational number is one tick mark to the right of Negative 6 Over 4 on the number line below?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The number line is missing, but as we are know that the number marked in the number line is -6/4, i will guess that the ticks are spearated by fourts (the distance between each tick is 1/4).

Now, for the number at the right of -6/4, we should add the distance for one tick, this means that the number at the right is:

-6/4 + 1/4 = -5/4.

Now i will give some other examples:

Now, if the distance between ticks is 2/4, then the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 2/4 = -4/4 = -1

Now, if the distance between ticks is 3/4, the the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 3/4 = -3/4.
