3x-x+2=4, That should be your answer if that is what your looking for
The answer is A,

. This is because when plugging in -2 for x, the expression will look like this:

. To make the exponent positive, you have to flip it into a fraction. Then it will be

. Lastly, you simplify the denominator into 81.
Area of a parallelogram=base x heigth
Data:
base=(2x+3)
heigth=(ax+5)
area of this parallelogram=8x²+bx+15
Therefore:
8x²+bx+15=(2x+3)(ax+5)
8x²+bx+15=2ax²+10x+3ax+15
8x²+bx+15=2ax²+(10+3a)x+15
Then:
8x²=2ax²
a=(8x²)/(2x²)=4
bx=(10+3(4))x
bx=(10+12)x
b=22x/x=22
Answer: a=4 and b=22.
69 out of 100 would be 69/100 = 0.69 = 69% were answered correctly
100% - 69% = 100-69 = 31 = 31% = 31/100 were incorrect
The nearest whole number is 20.
