Step-by-step explanation:

Mai:

She subtracted 5x instead of distributing. This is incorrect, because since it is in ( ), it has to be multiplied by 3.

Correct: 3(5x + 9) = 15x + 27

12x + 3 = 15x + 27

Noah:

Added 15x instead of subtracting. This is incorrect, because to combine like terms on each side you would add a negative number and subtract a positive number.

Correct: 12x + 3 = 15x + 27

12x - 15x = 27 - 3

-3x = 24

x = 24 / -3

x = -8

What is a chord but not a diameter

stiks02 [169]

In geometry, a chord is often used to describe a line segment joining two endpoints that lie on a circle. A diameter satisfies the definition of a chord, however, a chord is not necessarily a diameter. This is because every diameter passes through the center of a circle, but some chords do not pass through the center. Thus, it can be stated, every diameter is a chord, but not every chord is not a diameter.
