1.5r+15=2.25r
Combine like terms: 1.5r+15-1.5r=2.25r-1.5r
15=0.75r
Get the unknown alone: 15/.75=.75/.75r
20=r or r=20 :)

what number should be added to the expression x squared+2x to change it into a perfect square trinomial?

Nookie1986 [14]

You know that a perfect square trinomial is given by square of first term, twice the product of first and last terms and square of second term

So we have x^2 that is square of x, 2x that is twice the product of x*1, the second term shoulf be 1, that is square of 1

So your answer would be 1

If you try (x+1)^2 = x^2+2x+1

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

<u>Step 1</u>

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

<u>Step 2</u>

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

<u>Step 3</u>

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

<u>Step 4</u>

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

__

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.
