6n² - n - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2n x 3n +2n - 3n - 1
Given:
The expression is:

To find:
Part A: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 23.
Part B: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 3.
Solution:
Part A:
In option A,

[Using BODMAS]

In option B,

[Using BODMAS]

In option C,


In option D,

[Using BODMAS]

After the calculation, we have
and
.
Therefore, the correct options are B and D.
Part B: From part A, it is clear that

Therefore, the correct option is C.
Length from R(-2, 4) to S(3, 4) is sqrt((3 - (-2))^2 + (4 - 4)^2) = sqrt(5)^2 = 5 units
Length from S(3, 4) to T(3, -1) is sqrt((3 - 3)^2 + (-1 - 4)^2) = sqrt(-5)^2 = 5 units
Therefore, total length = 5 + 5 = 10 units.
