3(x-5), using the distributive property, we get 3x - 15
D
It makes sense. At most means equal or less than. The 10 per hour has a variable.
The pentagon's area is the sum of the 5 triangles that comprise it. This is

where the factor of 2 accounts for the top and bottom. The walls have an area of 5 rectangles
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
This may look like a complicated problem but it's some simple analyzing of the problem to get the job done:
"The sum" tells that we are going to be adding together the next two phrases separated by "and"s.
That is "8 times a number 4" <em>and</em> "5"
Therefore, we need to add 2 groups:
(8*4) + (5)
Now, we simply use PEMDAS (or GEMDAS) to solve the expression:
(8*4) + (5)
= (32) + (5)
= 32 + 5
= <u>37</u>
Follow the order of operations. Evaluate absolute value first.
-3^2+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate exponents
9+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate multiplication and division from left to right
9+4*4-9
9+16-9
Then evaluate addition and subtraction from left to right
25-9
16
Final answer: 16
