Answer:
No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly
Correct Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 2) = 30
Step 1: Distribute
4x + 2 = 30 
This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4
to x and 2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x
4x = 28 This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
x = 7 This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1

Let's find the correct answer to this equation:</h3><h3>4(x +2) = 30</h3>
Step 1: Distribute
Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.
4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)
= 4x + 8
4x + 8 = 30
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x
Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides (opposite operation of adding 8)
4x + 8 = 30
4x = 30 - 8
4x = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x
Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself
4x = 32
4(x) = 32
x = 32 ÷ 4
x = 8

Answer:
-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
-15x² – 21x + 18
-3(5x² + 7x - 6)
-3[5x² + 10x - 3x - 6]
-3[5x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)]
-3(x + 2)(5x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying rules of exponents to solve the given problems;
4^3 x 4^5 =
5^8 ÷ 5^-2 =
(6^3 ) ^ 4 =
For these problems, the applicable rules of exponents are;
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
(aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
For the first problem; 4³ x 4⁵
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
4³ x 4⁵ = 4³⁺⁵ = 4⁸
Second problem: aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
5⁸ ÷ 5⁻² = 5⁸⁻⁽⁻²⁾ = 5⁸⁺² = 5¹⁰
Third problem; (aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
(6³)⁴ = 6³ˣ⁴ = 6¹²

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
6 10 2 6 3 3 3 6 6 6 6 5 8 9 10 10 7 9 3 6 5 10 9 9 10 3 8 6 6 3 3 6 6 5 4 10 9 3 5 7 10 6 3 8 6 8 3 3 5 5
Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n
n = sample size = 50
ΣX = 308
xbar = 308 / 50 = 6.16
Using a Calculator :
The sample standard deviation, s = 2.469
Confidence interval = xbar ± margin of error
Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/sqrt(n)
Tcritical at 95% ; df = 50 - 1 = 49
Tcritical = 2.010
Hence,
Margin of Error= 2.010 * (2.469/sqrt(50)) = 0.7018
Lower boundary : (6.16 - 0.7018) = 5.4582
Upper boundary : (6.16 + 0.7018) = 6.8618
(5.4582 ; 6.8618)
