Working: 3x + (3x - 16) = 136
6x - 16 = 136
6x = 152
x = 25 1/3
(longer piece) = 76 ft
(shorter piece) = 60ft

Cora said that (5b)^2 = 10b^2. <br> Describe her mistake and state the correct answer.
klio [65]

The easiest answer I know is if you swap the bs with xs, then there will be two equations called parabolas. They open upward if the value is positive and open downward if the value is negative. If the exponent is 2, then it's a parabola. If it's 3, then it's a cubic function, because cube is for "3". Square is for "2". If you look at both parabolas, you can see that 10x^2 is wider than (5x)^2.

So the best answer I can think of is She made a mistake because the parabola on the 10x² graph is wider than the (5x)² graph. Also, it's because 5x and 10x are not the same thing. When an x value increases, the graph is narrower.

bixtya [17]
The error is that -2 times -5 is 10 not -10. Then carry on from there because that error meant the rest is wrong as well.
