Answer:
B. Start at -7 on the number line and move 11 to the right.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
We can add or remove only positive numbers on the number line to get it correct, so we need to open the parenthesis. When evaluated we get:
-7- (-11) = - 7 + 11 = 4
<u>Correct interpretation of of this expression is:</u>
- Start at -7 and add 11, thus move 11 points to the right, to get 4 as final point.
<u>Correct choice is:</u>
- B. Start at -7 on the number line and move 11 to the right.
Harry gave away 3/6, or half of the brownies
1/6 plus 2/6 equals 3/6
Answer:
a.
R-------8/38--------RR
R------9/39--------B-------13/38-------RB
G------17/38--------RG
R-------9/38--------BR
B--------13/39------B-------12/38-------BB
G-------17/38-------BG
R-----9/38--------GR
G---------17/39-------B------13/38-------GB
G------16/38-------GG
b).
- 9 ways
- ways you can select 1 blue are; RB,BR,BG,GB
RB=9/39 × 13/38=3/38
BR= 13/39 × 9/38 =3/38
BG= 13/39 × 17/38=17/114
GB= 17/39 × 13/38=17/114
=3/38 +3/38+17/114+ 17/114 =26/57
- Probability of selecting 2 red markers= RR = 9/39 × 8/38 =12/247
- Probability of selecting a green marker and then a red marker= GR= 17/39×9/38 =51/494

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
