Answer:

11a + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : 8a + 3 - 5a - 2a

error => - 5a

8a - (- 3 - 5a) - 2a =

= 8a + 3 + 5a - 2a

= (8a + 5a - 2a) + 3

= 11a + 3

Answer:

11a+3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-(-3-5a)-2a

Open the bracket first

8a+3+5a-2a

Collect like terms

8a+5a-2a+3

13a-2a+3

11a+3

So the final answer is 11a+3

The error is the that when you open the bracket the minus outside the bracket will multiply everything inside the bracket...and -×-=+

Write a paragraph proof that 1+1=2<br> (Fun fact: it took over 72 pages just to prove that 1+1=2)
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The theorem here is essentially that

if a and 3 are disjoint sets with

exactly one element each, then their

union has exactly two elements. ...

Peano shows that it's not hard to

produce a useful set of axioms that

can prove 1+1=2 much more easily

than Whitehead and Russell do.
