First of all you need to expand this expression. you do this by multiplying the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets. this is the first one ;   3 x 2a = 6a, 3 x 5 = 15. the extra + sign in the first brackets stays between the two terms, so the first set of brackets is now 6a + 15. now we have to look at the second ; 5 x a = 5a, 5 x 2 = 10, like the extra + sign, the extra - sign stays between the two terms as well, so the second bracket is now 5a-10. you put them together to get  6a + 15 + 5a - 10.

next you need to simplify the expression. first you need to group like terms,        e.g. the numbers and the letters.   <u>6a</u> + <em>15 </em><u>+5a</u> <em>-</em><em>10.</em> the 6a + 5a = <em><u>11a</u></em> and the 15 - 10 = <u><em>+</em></u><em><u>5</u></em>. you then put these two terms together to get your final answer of <em><u>
</u></em>

<u><em>11a + 5</em></u>

Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!

Answer and explanation please
Gnom [1K]
For the triangle, the shaded part, both the height and base are 12, so the area of it is:

1/2 (12 x 12) = 72

And the area of the whole square is 144

But what we’re looking for is the area of the unshaded region. So to find it, we’ll need to subtract the shaded from the total. So:

144 - 72 = 72

Thus, the area of the unshaded region is 72

Statistics please help I'm not good worth 50 points

(a) I can't help you with using your calculator for this part, but if you have some familiarity with your device you can check your answer with mine.

The mean is simply the sum of all the house costs divided by the number of houses:

(75k + 75k + 150k + 155k + 165k + 203k + 750k + 755k)/8 = 291k

So the population mean is $291,000.

The population standard deviation is the square root of the population variance. To get the variance, you take the sum of all the squared differences between the cost and the mean cost, then divide that sum by the number of houses. That is,

[(75k - 291k)² + (75k - 291k)² + … + (755k - 291k)²]/8 = 581,286k

Note that the variances is measured in square dollars. Then the standard deviation is

√(581,286k) ≈ $762,421.1

(b) The median is just the price in the middle. There were 8 houses sold, so there are 2 "middle" prices. The median is the average of these:

(155k + 165k)/2 = 160k = $160,000

(c) Yes, the mode is the data that shows up most frequently. This happens at the lower end, with $75,000 appearing twice.
