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.

Camilo practica tiro al blanco. En cada disparo acertado puede obtener 5, 8, o 10 puntos. En su última práctica, su puntuación t
Radda [10]

Answer:

20 disparos

Step-by-step explanation:

Primera etapa es de determinar cuantos tiros de Camilo acertaron al blanco.

Sabemos que en su última práctica, obtuvo 99 puntos con una mezcla de 5, 8 y 10 puntos.  Eso puedo se exprimir así:

5x + 8y + 10x = 99

Sabemos también que el obtuvo tantos tiros de 8 puntos que de 10 puntos, entonces

y = z

Podemos mezclar las 2 ecuaciones y substituir y por z:

5x + 8y + 10y = 99

5x +18y = 99

Una ecuación, dos variables... no es fácil... pero son números pequeños y se puede intentar soluciones.  Entonces, cuantas veces podemos multiplicar 5 y 18 para obtener 99?

El más simple es de hacer la tabla de multiplicación de 18 y ver cual número nos deja con un multiple de 5.

18 x 1 = 18 (99 - 18 = 81, no un multiple e 5)

18 x 2 = 36 (99 - 36 = 63, no un multiple de 5)

18 x 3 = 54 (99 - 54 = 45, SI, un multiple de 5)

18 x 4 = 72 (99 - 72 = 27, no un multiple de 5)

18 x 5 = 90 (99 - 90 = 9, no un multiple de 5)

Entonces, sabemos que y = 3 y z = 3

5x + 18 (3) = 99

5x + 54 = 99

5x = 45

x = 9

El tiró 9 veces por 5 puntos, 3 veces por 8 puntos y 3 veces pour 10 puntos.

En total tiró 15 veces.

Si acertó 75% (3/4) de las veces, cuantos tiros total?

\frac{15}{3/4} = \frac{15 * 4}{3} = 20

Camilo tiró 20 veces en total.

A circle with diameter 11 inches.
disa [49]

Answer:

a=95.0 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is:

a=\pir^2

First, we must find the radius

r=d/2

r=11/2

r=5.5

Substitute 5.5 in for r in the formula

a=\pi5.5^2

a=\pi30.25

Substitute 3.14 in for pi  

a=3.14*30.25

a=94.985

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

a=95.0 in^2

Hope this helps! :)
