The answer that you’re looking for is B & D
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
8 times 3 equals 23 and that is one of the answers
Should be all real numbers
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the sides.

where <em>a</em> and<em> b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse. In this triangle, we know the legs are 9 centimeters and 11 centimeters, or:
Substitute these values into the formula.

Solve the exponents.
- (9 cm)²= 9 cm*9 cm=81 cm²

- (11 cm)²= 11 cm*11 cm= 121 cm²

Add the values on the left side.

Since we are solving for c, we must isolate the variable. It is being squared and the inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides.



We are told to round to the nearest tenth.
The 1 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 2 in the tenth place.

The hypotenuse is equal to <u>14.2 centimeters.</u>
