Answer:

B. 2 + (3^2 * 5) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! Sorry for the long wait, I'm still in school and can't really be here 24/7 but I'm proud to announce that I have your answer!

So we have 4 expressions and we need to get our answer to 44. This question already includes the notion that parenthesis placements make a huge difference, so let's review them.

<h2>A.</h2>

2 + 3^2 * (5 - 3)

Use PEMDAS

2 + 3^2 * 2

2 + 9 * 2

2 + 18

20

<h2>B.</h2>

2 + (3^2 * 5) - 3

2 + (9 * 5) - 3

2 + 45 - 3

47 - 3

44

<h2>C.</h2>

(2 + 3^2) * 5 - 3

(2 + 9) * 5 - 3

11 * 5 - 3

55 - 3

52

<h2>D.</h2>

(2 + 3)^2 * 5 - 3

(5)^2 * 5 - 3

25 * 5 - 3

125 - 3

122

As we can see, B. is our answer due to its equivlance to 44.

At an airport, it cost 7 to park for one hour and 5 per hour for each additional hour.Let x represent the number hours parked.wr
kompoz [17]
The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.

1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5                  = 7 + 5 * 1          = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5          = 7 + 5 * 2          = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5  = 7 + 5 * 3          = 22

Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.

Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.

The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.

C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)

This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as

C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5

C(x) = 5x + 2

Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2

Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other two sides then it divides those sides proportionally.

This is the case here thus

\frac{11}{121} = \frac{10}{5x + 10} ( cross- multiply )

11(5x + 10) = 1210

55x + 110 = 1210 ( subtract 110 from both sides )

55x = 1100 ( divide both sides by 55 )

x = 20
