ANSWER

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify:

$(2\sqrt{5}+3)(\sqrt{5}-1)$

Recall the distributive property;

(a+b)(c+d)=a(c+d)+b(c+d)

We apply this property to get,

$2\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5}-1) + 3(\sqrt{5}-1)$

We expand to get,

$2 \times 5-2 \sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5}-3$

This simplifies to,

$10 + \sqrt{5}-3$

The simplest form of the given expression is:

$7 + \sqrt{5}$

Answer:

1. C) .4

2. B) 2 1/4

3. D) 3 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The question is asking what fraction (represented in decimal form) did Maria spend. To find this, divide 18/45 because Maria spent $18 of her $45. When you complete this calculation, you get .4

2. When you look at where the line ends, it's at the first quarter line after the 2, meaning that the line is 2 and one quarter or 2 1/4

3. 8 times 3 is 24, which is the closest multiple of 8 to 29. However, since there is still 5 left over (which still needs to be divided by 8) it would be represented by the mxed fraction.
