Answer:
- correct answer is C
- Haley incorrectly applied the distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
If you simplify the given equation, you find it matches choice C.
__
Haley's error seems to be failing to distribute the 1/2 properly when she eliminated parentheses. Apparent, she incorrectly decided that ...
1/2(6 -x) ⇒ 3 -x . . . . instead of 3 -1/2x
Then when -x was added to +3x, she got 2x. Had she done it properly, she would have added -1/2x to +3x to get 5/2x.

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is a common error to "distribute" the factor outside parentheses to the first term only, as Haley apparently did. Another common error is to fail to distribute minus signs properly. The distributive property requires you apply the outside factor to <em>all</em> of the terms inside parentheses.
No they cannot be simplified together from what I know
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The linear speed is
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the circumference of the circle
The circumference is equal to
we have
substitute
step 2
Find the linear speed in feet per minute
we know that
The wheel is rotating at 10 revolutions per minute
Convert revolutions to feet
Remember that
One revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle
so
10 revolutions is equal to
therefore
The linear speed is
