We have been given an expression
. We have been given steps how Chris tried to solve the given expression. We are asked to choose the correct option about Chris's work.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property,
, we cab rewrite our given expression as:


Now we will use exponent property
to further simplify our expression.


Therefore, Chris made mistake in step 2.
Answer:
The weight of Paula's dog is 36 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
SO we would draw one box for the weight of Carla's dog. Then we would draw 3 boxes for the weight of Paula's dog.
To find how much does Paula's dog weigh we divide the total weight of the dogs by the total number of boxes.
So then you would calculate 48 divided by 4.
The weight of Carla's dog is 12 pounds.
Therefore the weight of Paula's dog is 3x12=3x10+3x2=30+6=36 pounds.
Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: ∠MHL=(3x+20), ∠KHN=(x+25), and ∠JHN=(x+20).
We need to find the measure of ∠JHN.
(Vertical opposite angles)

Substitute the given values.




The value of x is 25. So, the measure of ∠JHN is

The measure of ∠JHN is 45°.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
a) 23.76%
b) 7.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.
loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)
hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%
b) probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13
probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12
now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%
The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.
