Yes, there was a mistake in applying the distributive property. If you have to perform

you have to multiply both terms in the parenthesis by 3, not just the first one.
So, the correct expansion would be

Answer:
-5 times-5 times-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Both are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The key understanding here is that you can factor a monomial in many different ways!
To check if any of the factorizations is correct, we can multiply the factors and see if their product is really 12x^712x

So Melodie is also correct!
Both Ibuki and Melodie are correct.
Solve the following system using elimination:
{-2 x + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{-2 x - y + z = -3 | (equation 2)
{2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)
Subtract equation 1 from equation 2:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y - 2 z = -3 | (equation 2)
{2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 2)
{2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)
Add equation 1 to equation 3:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 2)
{0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 3)
Swap equation 2 with equation 3:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)
{0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 3)
Subtract 3/5 × (equation 2) from equation 3:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y - (8 z)/5 = 0 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 3 by 5/8:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y - z = 0 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 3 by -1:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Subtract 6 × (equation 3) from equation 2:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y+0 z = 5 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 2 by 5:
{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{-(2 x) + 0 y+3 z = -2 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)
v0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Subtract 3 × (equation 3) from equation 1:
{-(2 x)+0 y+0 z = -2 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 1 by -2:
{x+0 y+0 z = 1 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)
{0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1, y = 1, z = 0
Answer:
Area of the fabric = 175 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezoid = (b1 + b2)/2 * h
Where,
b1 = 16 inches
b2 = 9 inches
h = 14 inches
Area of a trapezoid = (b1 + b2)/2 * h
= (16 + 9)/2 * 14
= 25/2 * 14
= 12.5 * 14
= 175 square inches
Area of the fabric = 175 square inches
