Whenever a number is beside a parenthesis without a sign it means multiplication. So you would use PEMDAS work in parenthesis then exponents, multiplication (from left to right) addition and subtraction (from left to right). so you would add 20+3 and get 23 then multiply that by -5 to get -115 as your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is in the same line as DE, both have the same slope.
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.
and so by using the coordinates of D and E
x changes by +4 (from 8 to 12).
y changes by -8 (from 32 to 24).
the slope is therefore
-8/+4 = -2
In solving algebraic expressions, there is an order in which to solve it.
1) perform the operation inside the parenthesis first
2) then perform the operation with the exponents
3) apply multiplication and division from left to right of the equation.
4) apply addition and subtraction from left to right of the equation.
Remember this: PEMDAS for easier recall. (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
He divided the wrong way. 7/33 = .2121.....and 2/11 = .1818...., so actually 2/11 < 7/33
ANSWER
Step 3
EXPLANATION
The given polynomial expression is:

Fatau correctly expanded the parenthesis in the first step.

Fatau also correctly grouped the like terms to obtain:

Fatau committed a mistake at the third step.
Instead of obtaining,

He mistakenly got:
