Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{2b+3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, first you need to simplify the expression to use a distributive property.

<u>Distributive property:</u>

$\sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}$

5+2b-2

Switch sides.

2b+5-2

Combine like terms.

You have to subtract by the numbers from left to right.

Solve.

5-2=3

<u>So, the correct answer is 2b+3.</u>

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

A bag contains 9 tiles, each with a different number from 1 to 9. You choose a tile without looking, put it aside, choose a seco

Ksenya-84 [330]

Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 84 ways to choose the three tiles.

The order in which the tiles are chosen is not important, hence the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this problem, three tiles are chosen from a set of nine, hence:

$C_{9,3} = \frac{9!}{3!6!} = 84$

There are 84 ways to choose the three tiles.

A survey asked a group of students to choose their favorite type of refreshment from the choices of ice cream, soda, and popsicl

makkiz [27]

There were 70 people who took the survey. 210 / 70 = 3. So, whatever 40 - 10 is, if we multiply by three, we get the answer. 40 - 10 = 30. 30 x 3 = 90. Simple as that. Hope I could help!

Answer:

The area of the green polygon is 81.

The area of the yellow polygon is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the green polygon, simply multiply 9 by 9. (The sides)

To get the yellow polygon, first you have to find the height. We know that the side of the green polygon is 9, so you have to do 9-7 to find the height of the triangle. That is 2

Then to find the area, use the equation: $\frac{h_{b} b}{2}$ . The h would be 2 and b would be 3.

The answer is 3.
