Answer:correct answer =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

5x - (x + 3)2

Putting the coefficient of x =2 in the equaton we have

5(2) - (2 + 3)2

Solving out

5(2) - (5)2

= 10- 10

=0

Step 2

Amir's mistake was in the multiplication  and wrong use of the negative sign of the bolded below

5(2) - (2 + 3)2 = 10 + (-5)2 = 10 + 25 = 35

-(5)2 cannot give 25 instead 10, so him getting a 25 and wrong use of the negative and positive made his answer wrong.

The right answer as calculated in step 1 = 0

Answer:

Amir didn't follow the order of operations and is wrong. Amir should have squared 5 and then subtracted rather than distributing the negative and squaring it. The correct answer is -15

I need to know the answer I’m working on rational numubers
lesya [120]

Answer:

Fraction Form: \frac{11}{24}

Decimal Form: 0.4583

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the fraction rule: \frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

\frac{-5}{12} = - \frac{5}{12}

- \frac{5}{12} + \frac{7}{8}

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 8: 24

- \frac{5}{12} x  \frac{2}{2} = - \frac{10}{24} \\\\\frac{7}{8} x  \frac{3}{3} = \frac{21}{24} \\\\- \frac{10}{24} + \frac{21}{24}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c}= \frac{a + b}{c}\\\\\frac{-10 + 21}{24} \\\\-10 + 21 = 11\\\\\frac{11}{24}
