Based on the given solution above made by Donte, the mistake that he made is that h<span>e did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i). The answer is option A. Here is why. If we simplify this, it would look like this:
</span><span>4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i) 
4+12i - 8 + 5i
17i-4
so, </span>4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i) should be equal to 17i - 4. 
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Have a great day!

The answer is: [A]: He did not apply the distributive property correctly for                                        4(1 + 3i) .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac.
____________________________
As such: 4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + (4*3i) = 4 + 12i ;
_____________________________________
Instead, Donte somehow incorrectly calculated:
_____________________________________
4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + 3i = 4 + 31; (and did the rest of the problem correctly);

Note:  - (8 - 5i) = -8 + 5i (done correctly; 
___________________________________
So if Donte did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4*(1+3i)—and incorrect got 4 + 3i (as mentioned above); but did the rest of the problem correctly, he would have got:
_____________________________
4+ 3i - 8 + 5i = -4 + 8i (the incorrect answer as stated in our original problem.
__________________
This corresponds to: "Answer choice: [A]: <span>He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i)."

The sum of two numbers is 21,and their difference is 9
Ghella [55]
let's say the two numbers are x and x + 9. so we know x + x + 9 = 21, so 2x + 9 = 21. subtract 9 from both dies to get 12 = 2x. divide both sides by 2 to get x = 6. so your two numbers are 6 and 15.

What's the conversion factor used to convert inches to yards
larisa [96]
We have to determine the conversion factor used to convert inches to yards. Yard and inch are US and British customary length units. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches. So we just have to divide 1 by 36. 1 : 36 = 0.027777.... ( more accurate with more decimal digits ). For example: 54 yards = 54 * 0.0277777 = 1.4999958 ( approx. 1.5 ). Answer: The conversion factor is: 0.0277777... <span> </span>
