No.
a. take 35% off 30 =19.5
b. first take 25% off 30 = 22.5, then take 10% off 22.5 = 20.25
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
None, it is a binomial because it has 2 terms. The degree is 1.
Hope this helps friend~ ^^
IT DOES NOT MATTER YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE THIS QUESTION
YOU WOULD GET 5x = 2 + 3x^2 AND YOU WOULD STILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE YOU COULD GET 3x^2 = 2 + 5x AND YOU COULD NOT SOLVE.
THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME X TO ADD THEM OR MINUS THEM< WHICH IN THIS CASE ONE IS REGULAR BUT THE OTHER IS SQUARED. AND ALSO THE TWO NEEDS SOMEONE TO GO WITH< BUT THE IS ONLY ONE OF HIS TYPE SO HE CAN'T.
WELCOME :/
Answer:
76 because if the two lines are parallel then x = 76
hope this helps and brainliest please
