Answer:
34758066
Step-by-step explanation: obviously ;)
3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 6

Answer:
No, Maria is incorrect.
(a+b)^2 is actually equal to a^2 + 2ab + b^2.
Let me know if this helps!
This changes to 7/12 times 16/12
which simplifies to
112/144
which simplifies to
7/9
Hope this helps!
