Two of your friends, Matt and Karen, both run to you to settle a dispute. They were working on a math problem, and got different

answers. Wisely, you decide to look at their work to see if you can spot the source of confusion.
Matt

6 – 4(3 – 5)2 + 30 ÷ 5
6 – 4(–2)2 + 30 ÷ 5
6 – 4(4) + 30 ÷ 5
6 – 16 + 30 ÷ 5
−10 + 30 ÷ 5
20 ÷ 5
4
Karen

6 – 4(3 – 5)2 + 30 ÷ 5
6 – 4(–2)2 + 30 ÷ 5
6 – 4(−4) + 30 ÷ 5
6 + 16 + 30 ÷ 5
6 + 16 + 6
22 + 6
28 Explain to Matt and Karen who, if either, is correct, and identify errors that you find. Provide the correct manner to fix those solutions, and identify the correct answer. Use complete sentences.

Karen is correct. (-2)2 is -4, not 4 in Matt's answer. Also, Karens, order of operations on the 4th line is correct. She does her division first, and Matt completes his subtraction first. PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

So in matt's equation, he made a mistake in the a transision from line 2 to line 3 
in line 2:  -4(-2)2
in line 3: -4(4) 
the mistake is that -2 times 2 is not equal +4 it is equal to -4
also from lines 5 to 6 he made a mistake in order of opperations (mulit division then addition and subtract)
line 5: -10+30/5
line 6: 20/5

so he first subtracted 10 then divided, he should have divided then subtracted
so the equation should have equaled 

Karen used the correct (-) times (+) property and the order of operations
so Karen is correct and Matt is wrong.

Answer:

B- $38.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two adults, you would multiply the cost of adults by number of adults. in this case that would be $10.75 x 2= $21.50. do the same for the kids and you will get $5.50 x 3 = $16.50. add 16.50 and 21.50 and you will get $38.00 which is your answer

Simplify the answer
Andru [333]

Answer:

- 20 + 8i

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that i²  = - 1

Given

[(6i + 9) + (4i - 5)] × 2i ← evaluate the terms inside the square bracket

= ( 6i + 9 + 4i - 5 ) × 2i

= (10i + 4) × 2i ← multiply each term in the parenthesis by 2i

= 20i² + 8i

= 20(- 1) + 8i

= - 20 + 8i

Find the area of this figure.
umka2103 [35]
Rectangle

l = 7.2 - 1.7 = 5.5 ft            b = 3.4 ft

Semicircle

r = 1.7 ft

Shaded region = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= l x b + πr²/2

= 5.5 x 3.4 + 3.14 x 1.7 x 1.7 x 1/2

= 18.7 + 4.5373

= 23.2373 ft²
