Multiply 2 by everything.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait, I think I'm wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, so the first thing you want to do is to multiply all the things that need to be multiplied. Once you've done that, divide the whole thing by 2 (at least, I think that's a fraction bar there). What do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B, is wrong.
Show me what you did.

Ok, so try adding the numbers in the parentheses together first. Then, multiply that number by the other numbers next to it. What do you get?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In other words, distribute the parenthesis first.
Once you got that answer, use that answer to divide by 2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, add the numbers in the parentheses, multiply by five, then raise the power of the resulting number by two. Then divide by two. What do you get?

We told you how to set it up already.
First, solve the parenthesis then divide that number by 2.
