You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
Answer:
<u><em>y = 63</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>y is directly proportional to x²</em>
<em>As given,</em>
<em>when y = 3 => x = 2</em>
<em>So, 3 = 4 - 1</em>
<em>Which means the relation can be written as :-</em>
<em>y = x² - 1</em>
<em></em>
<em>Substituting x = 8</em>
<em>y = (8)² - 1</em>
<em>y = 64 - 1</em>
<u><em>y = 63</em></u>
If you divide 30,400 by the amount of days in a year 365 you should get 83.3 but because you cant have part of a person lets leave it at 83 death per day

Laura put 4 toppings on her pizza.
Answer
n = 30
Explanation
To solve for n, you have to isolate it by 'getting rid' of the 18, 2, and negative sign.
You 'remove' these numbers in backward PEMDAS.
So to 'remove' the 18, you subtract both sides by 18.
3-18 = -15
-n/2+18-18 = -n/2
So now you are left with -15 = -n/2.
To 'get rid' of the 2, you multiply each side by 2.
-15×2 = -30
-n/2×2 = -n
And now you have -30 = -n.
To 'get rid' of the negative sign, you multiply both sides by -1.
-30×-1 = 30
-n×-1 = n
So you get 30 = n or n = 30.
If you still have questions I'll answer them in the comments (under this question).
