Answer:
- correct answer is C
- Haley incorrectly applied the distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
If you simplify the given equation, you find it matches choice C.
__
Haley's error seems to be failing to distribute the 1/2 properly when she eliminated parentheses. Apparent, she incorrectly decided that ...
1/2(6 -x) ⇒ 3 -x . . . . instead of 3 -1/2x
Then when -x was added to +3x, she got 2x. Had she done it properly, she would have added -1/2x to +3x to get 5/2x.

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is a common error to "distribute" the factor outside parentheses to the first term only, as Haley apparently did. Another common error is to fail to distribute minus signs properly. The distributive property requires you apply the outside factor to <em>all</em> of the terms inside parentheses.
Answer:
length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length be a and width be b and height be c
2 (a * b) + 2 (b* c) + 2 (a * c) = 488
2ab+ 2bc + 2ac = 488
ab + bc + ac = 244
ab + ac = 244 - ac
a (b + c) = 244-ac
a = 244-bc / b + c
Therefore the length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)
Answer:
B. 5 × 5 × 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the boards have an area of 25. You have 8 of them.
Answer:
D. a = 60 and b = 58.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Z-score for data point a is 0.
This means that a is the mean, that is, a = 60.
The z-score for data point b is -0.4.
This means that b must be a value below the mean, that is, a value below 60.
The option that satisfies a = 60 and b < 60 is option D, which is the answer.
= 2ab + 4a + 6 - 6
= 2ab + 4a
you can factor this to 2a(b + 2)
