I don’t know if this correct i haven’t done it in two years but i think the answer is 76 but i’m not 100% sure
We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:
2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y
In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac
In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:
2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4
In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.
The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:
Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y
I hope this helps!
Answer:
3x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the operation between the two sets of parentheses is addition, we don't have to do anything with it, and can remove the parentheses.
Our new expression is: 2y^2+9y+4-3y^2-3y-9
Now, we just add like terms together to solve for the simplest form of the expression.
2y^2+9y+4-3y^2-3y-9
(2-3)y^2+(9-3)y+(4-9)
-y^2+6y-5
Our final answer is -y^2+6y-5.
