ANSWER

Brayden should have expanded the parenthesis first.

EXPLANATION

The expression Brayden is trying to simplify is

4n -  {( n - 2)}^{2}

To simplify this expression, the first thing to do is to expand the perfect square to obtain:

4n -  {( n}^{2}  - 4n + 4)

We can now distribute the negative to the terms in the parenthesis.

4n -  { n}^{2}   + 4n  - 4

Answer:

He should have simplified (n-3)^2 first then distribute the negative sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Brayden is simplifying the expression 4n-(n-3)^2. He begins by distributing the negative to the terms inside the parentheses. Which is basically the wrong step for the given problem.

Now we need to find about what should he have done instead.

According to order of operations, we should begin with exponent first.

So that means he should have simplified (n-3)^2 first then distribute the negative sign.

Solve for x ....... thanks !
Len [333]
If we can match teh bases we can solve
because if x=x and xᵃ=xᵇ, we can conclude that a=b

16=2⁴
32=2⁵
rememeber that (x^m)^n=x^{mn}

16^{3x+2}=32^{-2x-7}
(2^4)^{3x+2}=(2^5)^{-2x-7}
2^{4(3x+2)}=2^{5(-2x-7)}
2=2 so we conclude that 4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)

4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)
expand/distribute
12x+8=-10x-35
add 10x both sides
22x+8=-35
minus 8 both sides
22x=-43
divide both sides by 22
x=-43/22
