So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x + -10.
So now the answer would be 10 = -10.
Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
The volume of the pipe is about 282.6 cubic feet.
First, we need to find the area of each circular cross section and subtract them to find the width of the pipe. The area of a circle is pi(r^2).
pi(3^2) - pi(2^2)
28.26 - 12.56 = 15.7
The width of the pipe is 15.7. Now, multiply that by 18 to find the volume.
15.7 x 18 = 282.6
Answer: I think the answer b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
what this student did was distribute the x to all 3 numbers when what they should have done was just combine 7x and -2x, and the answer should be 5x +8
Step-by-step explanation:
By the student placing x on the outside they are making the equation seem as if 8 also had an x. However if we look at the original problem 8 does not have any variable so right away that was their first mistake. Instead they had to find the numbers that had similar values. In this case it is negative 2x and 7x. We combine those two to get 5x+8 we cannot combine these two because as said previously 8 doesnt have a variable. so the answer stays with the expression 5x+8
