Maricella solves for x in the equation 4 x minus 2 (3 x minus 4) + 4 = negative x + 3 (x + 1) + 1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 o

n the left side of the equation and 1 + 1 on the right side of the equation. Which best explains why Maricella’s strategy is incorrect?
The multiplication that takes place while distributing comes before addition and subtraction in order of operations.
In order to combine like terms on one side of the equation, the inverse operation must be used.
When the problem is worked in the correct order, the numbers that Maricella added are not actually like terms.
Maricella did not combine all three constants on both sides of the equation; she combined only two.

Urgent. REALL URGENT. HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP MMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Effectus [21]

Option c : 9 is the answer.

Explanation:

The expression is 1.2-(-7.8)

We need to determine the subtracted value of the expression.

From the expression we can see that the expression contains two negative signs.

To simplify the expression, we know that, When we multiply two negative numbers then the product is always positive.

This means (-) *(-) = +

Thus, the expression can be written as

1.2+7.8

Adding the two numbers, we get,

1.2+7.8=9

Thus, the value of the expression is 9.

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.

A farmer builds a fence to enclose a rectangular pasture.He uses 155 feet of fence. Find the total area of the pasture if it is
ICE Princess25 [194]
The area for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
<em>P = 2l + 2w</em>
In this problem, we are given that P = 155 and l = 45.5. To solve for area, we must find w. To do this, plug in the given info and isolate the w like so:
155=2(45.5)+2w \\ 155=91+2w \\ (155)-91=(91+2w)-91 \\ 64=2w \\  \frac{64}{2} = \frac{2w}{2}  \\ w=32
Now we know w = 32. Knowing all the necessary info, we can use the area formula, <em>A=lw</em>, to solve for A.
A=(45.5)(35) \\ A=1,456

The area is 1,456 sq ft. 

Hope this helps!
