No. Four times five is twenty, so if Andrea has five five dollar bills, she can afford the tennis shoes. <span />

Step-by-step explanation:
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
You can just 1) multiply the binomial by itself, or you can use 2) the square of a binomial pattern. I'll show it to you both ways.
1) Multiply the binomial by itself.
(3x - 2)^2 = (3x - 2)(3x - 2) =
Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial, then collect like terms. (This is often called using FOIL.)
= 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4
= 9x^2 - 12x + 4
2) Use the square of a binomial pattern
The square of a binomial is
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab - b^2
a^2 is the square of the first term.
b^2 is the square of the second term.
-2ab is the product of the two terms and 2.
You have
(3x - 2)^2,
where the first term is 3x, and the second term is -2
square the first term: 9x^2
square the last term: 4
the product of the terms and 2 is: -12x
Put it all together, and you get
9x^2 - 12x + 4
just like we got above with the other method.
Well, following the order of PEMDAS, I got choice B. 52
For instance, when you plug in 5 for x, you get F(5)=2(5)^2+2.
Moreover, following PEMDAS, you're supposed to solve what's inside the parenthesis, but since there is no operation going on inside the parenthesis, then you simple move on to the exponent.
In this case, you square the number 5, which gives you F(5)=2(25)+2
After that, you Multiply (letter M in PEMDAS). This results in F(5)=50+2.
Finally, you add them, which results in F=52.
By the way, I noticed a mistake in your work. When multiplying 2 by 5, the answer is 10, not 20.
Anyway, hope this helped! :-)
