<u>Case 1 :</u>
5 positive x-tiles = 5x
1 positive unit tile = 1
5 positive x-tiles and 1 positive unit tile = 5x + 1
<u>Case 2 :</u>
2 negative x-tiles = -2x
6 positive unit tiles = 6
so, 2 negative x-tiles and 6 positive unit tiles = -2x+6
We see that Gracia has represented the 1st case as 5x+(-1), which should be 5 positive x-tiles and 1 negative unit tile.
Hence the statement : 5 positive x-tiles and 1 positive unit tile to represent 5x+(-1) , explains Gracia's error.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→ First plus p to both sides to isolate 3a

→ Divide both sides by 3 to isolate a

Answer:
1. 10n
2. 3x^2z^2
3. 2(9n^3 - 3n^2 + 3n - 1)
4. (Put the same thing)
5. There are no common factors so it is completely factored out.
Step-by-step explanation:
For 1, you gotta find the gcf of the numbers and the variables. So, the common factor of 90, 70, 70, and -80 is 10. Nothing else greater than 10 divides these numbers. For the variables, only "n" is the GCF, as there is one "n" and all the other numbers have n^2 and etc.
For 2, same thing, you have to find the gcf for the numbers and the variables.
3. same thing ;-; (gcf is 2 btw, nothing divides the variables because 2 has no "n".
4. theres nothing that divides the numbers or the variables. So, the gcf is just 1.
The answer is A LOL good luck;)
Answer:
10^9 is 10 × 10^8, since 10^9= 10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10×10
