Answer:
B) 11.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First write in 4 for x and 2 for y
Then multiply 1.3 times 6 (4+2) and subtract 2-6
Your expression should now be 7.8 +4
After adding these, it should be 11.8
Check the picture below
if that red segment, GJ, is parallel to the AE base segment of the triangle, then, the segment GJ is the midsegment of the triangle, and by the side-splitter theorem, those two triangles are similar.
Ok, to show that she is incorrect we can use any other number in both equations and they will not be equal. the number she used does turn out equal but that does not mean the equations are equal.
for example
2 times 3=6
3 to the power of 2 is 9
that shows the expressions are not equal
