Three students were given the expression shown to simplify.

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Calvin: incorrect, sign error

Greg: incorrect, has no relationship to the given expression

Ruben: incorrect, sign error

Equivalent expresssion: 7 92(4x -11)

Explanation:

The two terms on the right, -8x and +22, have even coefficients, so a factor of 2 can be factored out. If we do that, then these two terms become ...

... 2(-8x/2 +22/2) = 2(-4x +11)

We could, instead, factor out -2 so the x-coefficient inside parentheses is positive:

... -2(-8x/-2 +22/-2) = -2(4x -11)

Note that the signs of the two terms inside parentheses are different no matter which way we do it.

Equivalent expressions

Calvin could have written: 7 -2(4x -11)

Ruben could have written: 7 +2(-4x +11)

Greg could have written: 8(2 -x) -1. He would have rearranged the expression to 16 -8x -1 before doing so.

2/5 x - 1/7 x = 36

14/35 x - 5/35x = 36

9x / 35 = 36

x = 35*36 / 9

x = 35*4 = 140 (answer).

The sum of seven angles of an octagon is 132 degrees each. Find the measure of the eighth angle.
Sauron [17]

the sum of the angles in an ngon (a polygon with n sides) is (n-2)*180

so an octagon has 8 sides and has a sum total of (8-2)*180=1080 degrees

if each of 7 angles is 132, then 1080=?+7*132

1080=?+924

156=?

the 8th angle is 156 degrees
