Dimensions of the hallway mural:
L = x + 6, W = x - 2.
An expression is:
A ( hallway mural ) = ( x + 6 ) · ( x - 2 )
If x = 8 ft ( length of each side of the classroom ):
A ( h. m . ) = ( 8 + 6 ) · ( 8 - 2 ) =
= 14 · 6 = 84 ft²
The area of the hallway mural is 84 ft².
Choice C is the correct answer because
So in short,
------------------------------------------
The mistake Jerry likely made was that he only cubed the 2 and didn't realize the 6 was part of that cubing process. It seems he didn't add first and decided to cube before adding.
This is probably what steps Jerry did
But as mentioned, those steps are incorrect because the 6 is part of the cubing operation. In other words, Jerry should have added the 6+2 first before cubing afterward (due to PEMDAS determining the order of operations).
Or you could think of it like this
Answer: 32 dollars
Step-by-step explanation: 24 / 6 = 4, 24 + 4 + 4 = 32
Answer:
The first option.
Because we're solving for the price of each gallon, x will represent the cost of each gallon. Since 8.4 is the total amount of gallons, multiply 8.4 and x to get $23.94. Solve for x by dividing 23.94 to get $2.85 per gallon. To check this, substitute 2.85 for x into the equation: 8.4 (2.85) = 23.94
Well using distance formula
The answer I got was Distance = 45.9 what ever unit of measure it might ask for. Feel free to check my math just in case.
