Answer:

2w-42

Step-by-step explanation:

-24+2(w-9)

We need to distribute the 2 to the w-9 in the parentheses as per PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

-24+2w - 18

Subtract -24 -18

2w - 42

a square painting has an area of 81x^2-90x-25. A second square painting has an area of 25x^2+30x+9. What is an expression that r

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A1 ------> the area of the first square painting

A2 ----> the area of the second square painting

D -----> the difference of the areas

we have

$A1=81x^{2}-90x-25$

$A2=25x^{2}+30x+9$

case 1) The area of the second square painting is greater than the area of the first square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the first square painting from the area of the second square painting

D=A2-A1

$D=(25x^{2}+30x+9)-(81x^{2}-90x-25)$

$D=(-56x^{2}+120x+34)$

case 2) The area of the first square painting is greater than the area of the second square painting

The difference of the area of the paintings is equal to subtract the area of the second square painting from the area of the first square painting

D=A1-A2

$D=(81x^{2}-90x-25)-(25x^{2}+30x+9)$

$D=(56x^{2}-120x-34)$

I need help on this problem in math

S_A_V [24]

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.

$\dfrac{1}{2}(6-x)+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3-\dfrac{1}{2}x+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3+\dfrac{5}{2}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\qquad\text{matches choice C}$

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.

_____

Additional comment

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 all of the terms inside parentheses.
