Answer:
<u>Yes they are equivalent.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Use PEMDAS: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
Distribute or multiply -3 with 2p and 4 to get -6p and -12.
You will then have 18-6p-12-3p, simplify to get 6-9p
For the second equation multiply 3 with 2 and -3p, you will then get 6-9p as well.
They are equal, hope the helps ;)
Correct Solution: He read 1.5 pages per minute.
Error Analysis: You should’ve divided 3 by 2 not 300. There are 300 pages in the book total. This information is irrelevant to the question. Cole reads 3 pages in two minutes. So you divide 3 by to to find out how many pages he reads per minute. 3/2=1.5
No, has to cross on the negative one
