2/5(x - 4) = 2x
2/5x - 8/5 = 2x....multiply everything by 5
2x - 8 = 10x
-8 = 10x - 2x
-8 = 8x
-8/8 = x
-1 = x <===
If you use rise/run, the answer is 3/4. Up 3, over 4
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The statements are shown below:</em>
<em>A) She used the wrong number as a repeated factor and should have evaluated -2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2.
</em>
<em>B) She used the wrong number as a repeated factor and should have evaluated -(8x8).
</em>
<em>C) She misinterpreted the exponential form and should have multiplied -2 and 8.
</em>
<em>D) She made a sign error when multiplying and should have had 256 as a final answer.</em>

<u>Solution:</u>

The problem to simplify is:

Haley's steps are shown below:

Generally,
is actually "a" multiplied "b" times.
So, Haley wrote "-2" eight times multiplied together. That is okay.
Now,
We are dealing with negative numbers.
- When negative numbers are multiplied "odd" number of times, the answer is negative.
- When negative numbers are multiplied "even" number of times, the answer is positive.
Haley wrote "-2" eight times, which is EVEN number of times, so the answer would be POSITIVE. But, Haley's answer is negative. Which is wrong. But "256" is right.
Haley's error is:
Answer choice D
Answer:














hope this helps
sorry, I don't know how solve the 12th one.
thanks.
1 -since everything includes 4a, we can factor that to get 4a(a-4b^3+2b^2c)
2 - since 5 and 3 add to 8 and multiply to 15, we can do (n+5)(n+3)
3 - since -5 and -4 add to -9 and multiply to 20, we can do (g-5)(g-4)
4 - since -10 and 3 add to -7 and multiply to 30, we can do (z-10)(z+3)
5 - we can factor out 4y to get 4y(y^2-9).
I got the numbers in 2, 3, and 4 with a guesstimating and checking approach
