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
Patricia drove for 3 hours. Carlos drove for twice that, 6 hours. 6+3=9
If you add the numbers 57 and 59 together you get 116
(x² - 1)^-2/3
∛(x² - 1)-²
∛(1/(x² - 1)(x² - 1))
∛(1/(x^4 - x² - x² + 1))
∛(1/(x^4 - 2x² + 1))
