<em><u>Correct steps are shown</u></em>

<em><u>Correct simplified expression is:</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that: Mara simplifies the expression</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Correct steps are:</u></em>

From given,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Use the distributive property,</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + bc

Therefore,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x +3y + 2x + 8

Group the like terms

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x + 2x + 3y + 8\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

Thus the expression is simplified

Is 9.521521521 rational or irrational
enyata [817]

If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.

9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000

If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.

If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then

1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…

Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:

1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…

999<em>x</em> = 9512

<em>x</em> = 9512/999

If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like

9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…

then the number would be irrational.

Tell whether the angle is adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x
Yuki888 [10]
These angles are adjacent angels.
 adjacent angels-  have a common side and the same vertex.
(pictured below)

To solve this we set the sum of both angles equal to 180°. We do this because they are two adjacent angles on a straight line. The measure of a straight lines angle is 180°.

180= 5x + (x+96)
180=6x+96
84= 6x
x=14

Decide whether the data in the table represents a linear function or an exponential function. Explain how you know.
Alika [10]
This is a prime example of an exponential function due to the fact the r value is 1/3. It goes from 162 to 54 which is a 1/3 deduction from the original value.

A certain value divided by 7 is proportional to the division of 9.2 by 16.1.
lesya692 [45]

x/7 has to be proportionate to 9.2/16.1 so find out how 7 relates to 16.1

16.1/7=2.3 and 7*2.3=16.1

then apply it to x and 9.2

9.2/2.3= 4 and 4*2.3=9.2

So, x=4
