Answer:

Shira: x = 8

Samuel: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.

Correct Solving:

2x - 2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2;

x = 8

Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.

Correct Solving:

-2(8m + 8) = -16

Distribute;

-16m - 16 = -16

Add 16 to both sides;

-16m = 0

Divide both sides by -16;

m = 0

A farmer has 520 feet of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one s

Setler [38]

Answer:

$310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A farmer has $520 \text{ feet}$ of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one side of the pen. The length of the barn is $310 \text{ feet}$ .

TO FIND: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions.

SOLUTION:

Let the length of rectangle be $x$ and $y$

perimeter of rectangular pen $=2(x+y)=520\text{ feet}$

$x+y=260$

$y=260-x$

area of rectangular pen $=\text{length}\times\text{width}$

$=xy$

putting value of $y$

$=x(260-x)$

$=260x-x^2$

to maximize $\frac{d \text{(area)}}{dx}=0$

$260-2x=0$

$x=130\text{ feet}$

$y=390\text{ feet}$

but the dimensions must be lesser or equal to than that of barn.

therefore maximum length rectangular pen $=310\text{ feet}$

width of rectangular pen $=210\text{ feet}$

Maximum area of rectangular pen $=310\times210=65100\text{ feet}^2$

Hence maximum area of rectangular pen is $65100\text{ feet}^2$ and dimensions are $310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

Simplify the expression below. Then classify the resulting expression

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Simplified = 5

Classification = Monomial

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>PART I: Simplify the expression</h2>

<u>Given expression:</u>

3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)

<u>Expand parenthesis by distributive property:</u>

= 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2) - 3x (x)

= 3x² +6x + 5 - 6x - 3x²

<u>Put like terms together:</u>

= 3x² - 3x² + 6x - 6x + 5

= 0 + 0 + 5

= $\boxed{5}$

<h2>PART II: Classify polynomial</h2>

<u>Concept:</u>

Polynomial is classified by the number of terms a polynomial has.

Monomial: a polynomial with only one term
Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
...

<u>Classify the given expression:</u>

Original = 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)

Simplified = 5

5 is a constant and it has only one term

Therefore, it is a <u>monomial</u>.

Hope this helps!! :)
