Complete Question

Marcus and Jeremy both evaluated the expression −(5²) + 3. Marcus said the answer was −22. Jeremy said the answer was 28. Who is correct? Explain the error in the other student’s work.

Answer:

Marcus is right, the answer is -22

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to simplify is given as

-(5²)+ 3

= -(25) + 3

= - 22

This is the correct answer. Marcus when simplifying his expression took note of the bracket or parentheses sign. This is very important.

Jeremy got 28. His answer is wrong because he squared -5 directly without taking noting that it was in a bracket or parentheses.

Hence this was Jeremy's calculation

-(5²) + 3

= 25 + 3

= 28

Jeremy's answer was wrong. He did not recognize the bracket in his calculation.

What are the lengths of sides KN and NM of the kite? KN = units NM = units
Rainbow [258]
The figure of the kite shown in the figure is a quadrilateral because it has four sides. The lengths of each side is expressed as a function of x and y. In order to determine the values of x and y, you make use of the short lines that mark the sides. These are symbols of congruency. If two sides are equal, you mark them both with the same symbol. So for the figure above, side NM = side LM and side KL = side KN. Therefore, we equate them as follows:

NM = LM
2x + 6 = 3x - 1
3x - 2x = 6 +1
x = 7

KL = KN
2y + 5 = y + 10
2y-y = 10 - 5
y = 5

So, we know that the values are x=7 and y=5. We use this to know the actual values of sides KN and NM.

KN = y + 10
KN = 5 + 10
KN = 15

NM = 2x + 6
NM = 2(7) + 6
NM = 20
