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.

Which equation shows the correct use of the Power of Products Property?
Vadim26 [7]
The power of products property states that for number enclosed in a bracket or parenthesis, if it is raised to a power, it must be multiplied to the power of the enclosed number no matter how different the base is. You cannot add it because it is not raised. You can only add it if they have the same base. But in this problem, you will just multiply it. The breakdown of the solution to this problem is shown below. So,
<span><span>• (2x⁵y²)³=(21x3x5*3y2*3) = 6x15y6</span><span>

Eric wants to double protect his flower bed with a regular hexagonal shaped fence surrounded by a rectangular fence. How many fe
kati45 [8]

Answer:

78 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>COmplete Question is in attached image.</em>

<em />

Eric will want to buy fencing that is sum of perimeter of the square border outside and hexagon inside.

Perimeter is the sum of all sides.

Perimeter of hexagon is sum of 6 sides.

Each side is 5, so

Perimeter of Hexagon = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 +5 +5 = 30

Now,

Perimeter of Square is sum of all 4 sides measuring 12 each, so

Perimeter of Square = 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48

Total amount of fencing needed = 30 + 48 = 78
