Choice C is the correct answer because
So in short, 
------------------------------------------
The mistake Jerry likely made was that he only cubed the 2 and didn't realize the 6 was part of that cubing process. It seems he didn't add first and decided to cube before adding.
This is probably what steps Jerry did
But as mentioned, those steps are incorrect because the 6 is part of the cubing operation. In other words, Jerry should have added the 6+2 first before cubing afterward (due to PEMDAS determining the order of operations).
Or you could think of it like this
The answer is 170. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
-6x+6+4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the -3
-3(x-2)= -3x+6
Combine like terms
<u>-3x</u>+6<u>-2x</u>+4x^2
-6x+6+4x^2
Answer:
5 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
16/3 = 32/6
32/6 = 5 2/6 = 5 1/3
Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are. So you can forget about the positive ones.
Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is: If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.
That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
