Answer:
option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerry solved this equation:

In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis
1. 
In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides
2. 
In step 3, we take LCD 12
3. 
In step 4, add the fractions
4. 
Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.

In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.
Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1


In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3
Answer:
|-3| = 3 and -|-4| = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function changes the sign to positive, if it isn't already. The usual rules of arithmetic and logic apply to these statements.
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|-4| = -4 (true) ⇒ this statement is true
|-3| = 3 (true) and |-4| = -4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false
-|3| = 3 (false) and |4| = 4 (true) ⇒ this statement is false
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|4| = 4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false

A compound "and" statement is only true if <u>all</u> of the parts of it are true.
I did not even understand that equation
A) y = 2x – 7 and f(x) = 7 – 2xIncorrect. These equations look similar but are not the same. The first has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of −7. The second function has a slope of −2 and a y-intercept of 7. It slopes in the opposite direction. They do not produce the same graph, so they are not the same function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. B) 3x = y – 2 and f(x) = 3x – 2Incorrect. These equations represent two different functions. If you rewrite the first equation in terms of y, you’ll find the equation of the function is y = 3x + 2. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. C) f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5Correct. The expressions that follow f(x) = and y = are the same, so these are two different ways to write the same function: f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. D) None of the aboveIncorrect. Look at the expressions that follow f(x) = and y =. If the expressions are the same, then the equations represent the same exact function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5.
I'm pretty sure that it's b. That's assuming that you find the negative of b^2 and not the square of negative b.
