Step-by-step explanation:

your don't see what went wrong ?

Tyrell worked on

16 - 2(4 + 3x)

what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.

as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.

so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.

so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.

therefore, the correct simplification looks like

16 - 8 - 6x

8 - 6x or -6x + 8

Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up

10x - 3(4x + 1)

10x - 12x - 3

10x - 12x = -2x

I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.

so, the result is

-2x - 3

A cargo van is carrying 20 identical steel cylinders.Each cylinder contains compressed oxygen.Altogether,the cylinders weigh 1/2

Each container is 50 pounds, forget about the second sentence it's just there to confuse you. One ton is 2,000 pounds, half of that is 1,000 lbs. 1,000 divided by 20 is 50. 50 pounds each.

Exponential functions

Doss [256]

Given:

A population numbers 15,000 organisms initially and grows by 19.7 % each year.

Let P represents the population.

Let t be the number of years of growth.

An exponential model for the population can be written in the form of $P=a \cdot b^t$
