Answer: Marty is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2)-2(3) use distributive property

2x-4-6

2x-10

Answer:

  • Marty is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>

  • 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
  • => 2x - 4 - 6
  • => 2x - 10

When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.

<u>Marty's mistake</u>

  • Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
  • He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.

Can you add and subtract integers and surds together?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Both of these examples are wrong. You cannot add/subtract integers and square roots together, however, you could add square roots together if they have the same number under the square root. For example, 2 - 2√6 will stay as 2 - 2√6 because they aren't like terms. 25 + 5√5 + 5√5 + 5 = 30 + 10√5 because 25 + 5 = 30 and 5√5 + 5√5 = 10√5. We can add 5√5 and 5√5 together because they have the same number under the square root. If we were to compute √2 + √3, we would just leave it as is because they don't have the same number under the square root.

What are the end points of the triangle called? How are they labeled?
horrorfan [7]

For this case we have that by definition:

A triangle is defined by three lines that are called sides, or by three points called vertices.

We know that:

  1. <em>The vertices of a triangle are labeled with capital letters. </em>
  2. <em>The sides of a triangle are written with lowercase letters. </em>
  3. <em>The angles of a triangle are written similarly to the vertices. </em>

Answer:

The end points of the triangle are called vertices.

They are labeled in capital letters.
