Answer:

Mai

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, you must determine who is going faster per minute. To do this, you must divide the total number of miles by the total number of minutes.

Mai: 5 miles / 15 minutes = 1/3 miles per minute

Jada: 4 miles / 14 minutes = 2/7 miles per minute

Then, use a common denominator to make calculations easier:

Mai: 1/3 * 7/7

Jada: 2/7 * 3/3

You should get:

Mai: 7/21 miles per minute

Jada: 6/21 miles per minute

By looking at this, you can see that Mai is traveling slightly faster, going more miles than Jada per minute.

use the distributive property to remove parentheses. Simplify your answer as much as possible. 1/2(4y+7)
Anna007 [38]
1/2(4y+7)

Use the distributive property. a(b+c)= ab+ac 

1/2*4y= 2y

1/2*7= 3.5

2y+3.5 <---- simplified expression

I hope this helps!

What is the factored form of the expression. (2n^2 + 5n + 3) (4n - 5)
7nadin3 [17]

So firstly, <u>the factor (4n - 5) cannot be further factored, so we will be focusing on 2n² + 5n + 3.</u>

So for this, we will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6n² and a sum of 5n? That would be 2n and 3n. Replace 5n with 2n + 3n:

(2n^2 + 2n + 3n + 3)(4n - 5)

Next, factor 2n² + 2n and 3n + 3 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

(2n(n+1)+3(n+1))(4n-5)

Now we can rewrite this expression as<u> (2n+3)(n+1)(4n-5) , which is your final answer.</u>
