The first answer of part A is 32
So 4y means you have to multiply 4 by y, which is 20 since 4x5=20
And then you add 12, which is 32.
The second answer to part A is 40
With the second question of part a, the expression is basically saying 4 times whatever 5+3 is. So 5+3= 8, and 4(8) is 40
For part B, they are equivalent because let’s pretend y=2. 12+4y= 20. And then 4(y+3) would equal 20 because 4(2)=8 and 4(3)=12 and 8+12=20. This might not be the answer that your teacher is looking for, but it’s still a right answer so technically they can’t say it’s wrong unless you have a super unfair teacher
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

So, the average rate of change of:

Over the interval 
Is:


Therefore, the average rate of change of this function over that interval is 3.
Answer: There are 160 different rings.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is missing, i guess you want to know the number of different rings that the jewelry has:
For the material we have 2 options.
For the stile we have 8 options
For the gem we have 10 options.
Now, the total number of possible combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each selection, this is:
Combinations = 2*8*10 = 160
25.69 + .75= $26.44
Hope this helps.
