We have been given an expression 
. We have been given steps how Chris tried to solve the given expression. We are asked to choose the correct option about Chris's work.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property, 
, we cab rewrite our given expression as:
Now we will use exponent property 
to further simplify our expression.
Therefore, Chris made mistake in step 2.
Answer:
7a + 2b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4a + 3b + 3a - b ← collect like terms
4a + 3a + 3b - b
= 7a + 2b
Answer:
x(3+28y)
Step-by-step explanation:
21x-18x+28xy
3x+28xy
x(3+28y)
12+6/7n=-25n add 25n and subtract 12 on both sides
25 6/7n=-12 convert to improper fraction
181/7n=-12 multiply both sides by seven to clear the fraction
181n=-84 divide both sides by 181 to get your answer

Compute the derivative of <em>y</em> = (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2)² using the chain rule:
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) d/d<em>x</em> [<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2]
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) (2<em>x</em> + 1)
Evaluate the derivative at <em>x</em> = -1 :
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (-1) = 2 ((-1)² + (-1) - 2) (2 (-1) + 1) = 4
This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).
Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - 4 = 4 (<em>x</em> - (-1)) → <em>y</em> = 4<em>x</em> + 8
