Answer:
1/2 - 3(1/2 + 1)²
simplify the expression (1/2 + 1)
1/2 - 3•(3/2)²
using PEMDAS, we see we have to evaluate the exponent first
(3/2)² = 9/4
rewrite the equation
1/2 - 3 • (9/4)
multiply 3 by (9/4)
1/2 - (27/4)
subtract
-25/4
(1 + 1/3)² - 2/9
simplify the expression (1 + 1/3)
(4/3)² - 2/9
using PEMDAS, we see we have to evaluate the exponent first
(4/3)² = 16/9
rewrite the equation
(16/9) - (2/9)
subtract
14/9
Answer:
-20b-35
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you had some of the numbers correct, but you just labeled it and rounded it incorrectly, and the teacher gave you super partial credit for it.
For my work, I'm assuming that side A is opposite of angle A and side B is opposite of angle B, etc...
