(4x)^2=4x times 4x
4x^2=4 times x times x=4(x^2)
(4x)^2=16x^2
4x^2=4(x^2)
values are not equal
(just for fun: 4x^2=(2x)^2)
Answer:
Josie and Emmanuel are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
By pluggin the numbers given into the equations, you find that Josie and Emmanuel are 5/8 while Maria is 120.
The correct answer is 6x-15
(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50
5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50
Combine in parens.
5 x (4 + x) = 42.50
Distribute.
20 + 5x = 42.50
Subtract 20 from both sides.
5x = 22.50
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 4.50
Thats the cost of each plant.
Check.
5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)
5 x 8.50 = 42.50
