Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.

6x² - 4x - 5

- 3x² - 7x + 2

= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]

= 3x² + 3x - 7

The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.

The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.

We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:

(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)

Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial

6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2

Combine like terms

6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2

3x² + 3x - 7

Solve for the given length. The length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width. The area of the rectangle is 154^2. What is t
Andre45 [30]
If the length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width, then:
L=W+3
Is the area really 154^2? Or is it 154m^2? If yes, then:
A=LW
154=(W+3)(W)
154=(W^2+3W)
0=W^2+3W-154
0=(W-11)(W+14)
This means either (W-11) or (W+14) is equal to zero so:
W=11 and W=-14
To find out let's substitute the numbers:
154=(11+3)(11)
154=154
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 11m

This legend about Admiral Nelson, like other
il63 [147K]

Correct option is E, like legends about other naval heroes, is

It does this by contrasting "this legend" with "legends about other naval heroes," so avoiding the mistake of the original. There is an unreasonable comparison in option (A). "This legend" is contrasted with "other naval heroes."

There is an agreement mistake in option (B). For the single subject "this legend," the plural verb "are" is used. There is an unreasonable comparison in option (C). "This legend" is contrasted with "other naval heroes." Choice (D) has an agreement mistake.

For the single subject "this legend," the plural verb "are" is used. Option E can be used to rewrite the sentence's highlighted portion. By contrasting "this legend" with "legends about other naval heroes," the inaccuracy is fixed. As a result, choice E is the right answer.

Here's a question with an answer similar to this Admiral Nelson:

Brainliest and points! HELP ABOUT MEAN EASY!!
Luden [163]
To work it out:
(20200 + 14500 + 18800 + 9300 + 2200) divide by the number of regions, in this case 5.
The answer is 13000 which is A

Basically the mean is adding all the numbers divided by the amount of numbers you added. So in this case adding the data of the 5 regions divided by 5.

Hope to have helped :)
