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.

In the given question, we have to perform this experiment and test if the inequality is true or not.

Adding the same value to both sides of the inequality will not change the inequality sign

<h3>Inequality</h3>

data;

  • 4 < 7
  • 11 > - 2
  • -4 < - 2
  • -8 < 8

In the first case, we would do follow the process

6 * 7 * 4 < 7 * 7 * 6\\168 < 294

In the second case;

11 > - 2\\\\5 + 11 > -2 + 5\\3 + 16 > 3 + 3\\4+ 19 > 6 + 4\\23 > 10

In all the scenarios, the operations did not affect the inequality sign because we are doing it equally to all side and at the end of the day nullifies each other.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(8,-3),(8,4)

since both points have the same x value, this means you have a vertical line with an undefined slope...so ur equation would be x = 8....because no matter what y is, x will always be 8
