Venita is factoring the expression 32 a b minus 8 b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8 b (4 a minus

0). Which best describes Venita's error? She incorrectly determined the GCF. She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing. She divided the GCF into the first term in the expression instead of subtracting. She divided each piece of the expression by different factors.

Answer:

She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 32ab-8b, to find the common greatest factor, we will bring out a function that us common to both terms 32ab and 8b. To do that, we need to first find their individual factors as shown:

32ab = (2×2×2)×2×2×a×(b)

8b = (2×2×2×b)

From both factors, the common terms are the values in parenthesis i.e 2×2×2×b = 8b

Hence the GCF of the expression 32ab - 8b is 8b. On factoring out 8b from the expression we will have;

= 32ab - 8b

= 8b(32ab/8b - 8b/8b)

= 8b(4a-1)

Comparing the gotten equation with Venita's own, 8b(4a-0), we can say that she correctly factored out the GCF but her error was that she subtracted 8b from the second term of the expression instead of dividing by 8b. 8b-8b is what gives her 0 making her expression wrong. She should have divided her second term also by 8b to have 8b/8b which results in 1 instead of 0 that venita got.

Abel is making brownies for a bake sale. The recipe shows the amount of each ingredient needed to make 9 brownies. Complete each
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

In order to make 45 brownies, Abel needs 25 cups of flour, 20 cups of sugar, 10 cups of cocoa powder and 5 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the recipe is missing in this question, the recipe is found online which given following information

  • Abel needs 5 cups of flour to make brownies.
  • If Abel uses 4 cups of sugar.
  • he will need to use 2 cups of cocoa powder.
  • The recipe will make brownies if Abel uses only 1 egg.

Abel has to make 45 brownies for the sale, this is also missing in this question, however is given in the reference question linked here.

This recipe is to make 9 brownies. Now for 45 brownies the multiplier is found as 45/9=5. So by multiplying quantity of all the ingredients by 5, Abel will be able to make 45 brownies.

Now  in order to make 45 brownies

  • Abel needs 5*5 =25 cups of flour to make brownies.
  • If Abel uses 5*4=20 cups of sugar.
  • he will need to use 5*2=10 cups of cocoa powder.
  • The recipe will make brownies if Abel uses only 5*1=5 egg.

So in order to make 45 brownies, Abel needs 25 cups of flour, 20 cups of sugar, 10 cups of cocoa powder and 5 eggs.

Select all of the following true statements if R = real numbers, Z = integers, and W = {0, 1, 2, ...}.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We can start solving this problem by first identifying what the elements of the sets really are.

R is composed of real numbers. This means that all numbers, whether rational or not, are included in this set.

Z is composed of integers. Integers include all negative and positive numbers as well as zero (it is essentially a set of whole numbers as well as their negated values).

W on the other hand has 0,1,2, and onward as its elements. These numbers are known as whole numbers.

W ⊂ Z: TRUE. As mentioned earlier, Z includes all whole numbers thus W is a subset of it.

R ⊂ W: FALSE. Not all real numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers must be rational and expressed without fractions. Some real numbers do not meet this criteria.

0 ∈ Z: TRUE. Zero is indeed an integer thus it is an element of Z.

∅ ⊂ R: TRUE. A null set is a subset of R, and in fact every set in general. There are no elements in a null set thus making it automatically a subset of any non-empty set by definition (since NONE of its elements are <u>not</u> an element of R).

{0,1,2,...} ⊆ W: TRUE. The set on the left is exactly what is defined on the problem statement for W. (The bar below the subset symbol just means that the subset is not strict, therefore the set on the left can be <u>equal</u> to the set on the right. Without it, the statement would be false since a strict subset requires that the two sets should not be equal).

-2 ∈ W: FALSE. W is just composed of whole numbers and not of its negated counterparts.

Jo is on the phone with a gardener who asks about the square feet of Jo's backyard. Jo counts 20 steps long and 40 steps wide (w
Sever21 [200]

Hey there!

Each step is three feet. This can be represented by 3s= feet. We can plug that in to figure out our side lengths.

20(3)=60

40(3)=120

Now we can multiply these two together to get the area.

120(60)= 7,200

Therefore, his backyard is about 7,200 square feet.

I hope this helps!

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two sample t-test to draw the conclusuion. However, by looking at the information of mileage of tyres on asphalt and concrete-paved highways, we can say that since mean milege of tyres on concrete is lesser, tyres wear faster on concrete-paved highways.

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1  and x^2+(-8)x=9

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-8x-9

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is ax^2+bx+c=0

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant D=b^{2}-4ac

D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Now, substituting the values we will get

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1

And rewritting the given equation by  shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

x^2+bx=c
