To simplify this expression would be 4x-3
4.3 I believe. That's the answer I got.
Answer:
She should have multiplied one half (4)(3.5) by 5 squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Base of triangle=b=4 cm
Height of triangle=h=3.5 cm
Area of triangle=
After enlarged
Scale factor=5
New base of enlarged triangle=b'=4(5) cm
Height of enlarged triangle=h'=3.5(5) cm
Area of enlarged triangle=
But Beth wrote
Area of enlarged triangle=
She should have multiplied one half (4)(3.5) by 5 squared.
3x-1-(3x-3)
3x-1-3x+3
3-1
=2
