= (5*-2) + (-3*2) + 3
= -10 -6 +3
= -13

Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by combining like terms

Then separate the unlike terms

Then a dd those like terms and use the opposite of subtraction to get your answer

Explain why any of the four operations placed between two terms 5 and -3 sqrt (8) will result in an irrational number

Gnoma [55]

Sum/difference:

Let

$x = 5 + (-3\sqrt{8}) = 5-3\sqrt{8}$

This means that

$3\sqrt{8} = 5-x \iff \sqrt{8} = \dfrac{5-x}{3}$

Now, assume that $x$ is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that $x$ was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational

Multiplication/division:

The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get

$x = -15\sqrt{8}$

if again we assume x to be rational, we have

$\sqrt{8} = -\dfrac{x}{15}$

But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.

Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in 2 1/3 minutes. If she continues at this rate, where

attashe74 [19]

Steps:
2 1/3 * 3 = 7
14 * 3 = 42
42 divided by 7 = 6
6 * 8 = 48
So, Maggie is 48 feet under the summit (-48). Therefore, the correct answer is d.
