Will is asked to simplify the expression below. 7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y He states that the simplified expression is 5x + 9y because

using the distributive property yields 7x - 2x + 6y + 3y and then combining like terms yields 5x + 9y. 1. What is the error in Will's reasoning? 2. Write the correct simplified expression for 7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y

= 7x - 2x - 6y + 3y

= 5x - 3y

Will got 5x + 9y because he didn't multiply the values in the bracket by the minus sign outside the bracket. He multiplied the values by +2 rather than -2. This resulted in the wrong answer that he got.

△ABC is similar to △LMN. Also, angle B measures 35° and angle C measures 95°. What is the measure of angle L?
marissa [1.9K]
L = 50 because 35 + 95 = 130. 180 - 130 means the missing angle is 50 degrees.

Either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.14, point, 14 for \piπpi and enter your answer as a decimal.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

49π sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

We can find the area of the given circle

Given

diameter of the circle d = 14

Area of the circle = πd²/4

Substitute the given diameter

Area of the circle = π(14)²/4

Area of the circle = 196π/4

Area of the circle = 49π sq. units

Hence the exact answer in terms of π is 49π sq. units

A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertices at A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.

Since

  • AB=4;
  • A'B'=10;
  • AC=6;
  • A'C'=15,

then the scale factor of the dilation is

k=\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{15}{6}=2.5.
