Let us determine the product of 438 and 17 by partial products.
Consider
and
So,
=
= 7446
Therefore, the product of 438 and 17 is 7446.
No, Sandra's answer is not correct.
Because she should have expressed 17 as (10+7), then if she multiplied (438 by 10) and (438 by 7). And, then added the results.Then her answer would be correct.
Start by factoring out the GCF, which is 3x:
3x(3x^2 + 2x - 1). Then factor the trinomial 3x^2 + 2x -1:
3x(3x-1)(x+1)
2sqrt3/3, -2sqrt3/3
hope this helps
The mistake is n third line - adding 3w
96 + 2w =2(80 - 3w)
96 + 2w = 160 - 6w
+ 6w + 6w
96 + 8w = 160
- 96 -96
8w = 64
w = 8 weeks answer
