Answer:

He distributed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve  3(x - 3) + 2x + 9 = 2x + 2(x - 1)

Opening the parenthesis will yield

3x - 9  + 2x + 9 = 2x + 2x - 2

5x  =  4x - 2

Subtract 4x from both-side of the equation

5x-4x  =  4x -4x- 2

x = -2

The mistake he made is;

3(x - 3) = 3x - 9    

Not  3x-3

Also

2(x - 1) = 2x -2  

Not  2x-1

What is the best description of the acceleration of an object?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

A car's velocity changes from 25 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Acceleration is the rate of change of Velocity of an object.

I.e it is the( final velocity minus initial velocity ) ÷  by the time it took for the velocity to change.

If we observe the choices only one choice gives us all 3 components (final velocity, initial velocity, time taken for velocity to change), which is :

A car's velocity changes from 25 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

D.) (5,31)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they already gave you the value of x

plug that into the equation for y

y=6(x)+1

y=6(5)+1

y=30+1

y=31

Therefore, you have

x=5 and y=31

(5,31)

TEA [102]

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

2^{-3} simplifies to \frac{1}{8}.

Therefore, it is rational.

2^{-3}\\\\\text {Apply negative exponent rule: } a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \\2^{-3}= \frac{1}{2^3}\\ \rightarrow 2^3 = 2*2*2=8\\\boxed{2^{-3}=\frac{1}{8}}
