Please someone help ill fan and medal please someone. :( http://prntscr.com/aff05f

Part A and B are good, part C though Let's factor it out first

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I'm not sure if they're asking for the coefficient before or after? If it's before you're right If it's after, we would first distribute the 9 into the 7+2x

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I do suppose you are right though, since that is in factored out form

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yeah, lets see it Good job on the first btw

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So for part A, they want you to write down the formula, but with the numbers plugged in. How would that look?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Sure Part A is just plugging in without answering Part B is actually answering

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

It's alright. Remember, Part A has no calculations involved. We're just taking the formula they gave us and rewriting it, but we're just changing the r and s to the values they gave us

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

\[3.14((r)(s)+(r^2))\]Thats what we have. Can you rewrite that and replace the R and S with the given values for me?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Correct! That's Part A. Now let's do Part B

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So let's do what's in the parenthesis first \[(5)(3)+(3^2)\] Let's find (5)(3), then let's find (3^2), then we can add those two answers together

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I like all of that, but recheck if 15 + 9 really is 21

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Oh, I don't think you are. Everyone does it I remember writing that 2+3=2 on a Calculus Test lol But yeah, after you do 24, you got the rest right

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yep, just re calculate 24x3.14 since you had to change the 21 to a 24

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Looks good!

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Do you see any ways in which we can make some equivalent expressions?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So what do you see? lol

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Technically, it is! I like that idea

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I'm not sure if your teacher will accept that, but that is a different and equivalent expression. They want one more expression in Part A

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yep, looks good

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yeah, that's why I was thinking of something different. I'm not sure if those equivalents will roll over to part B. You could say addition works no matter the order, but I don't think that's valid enough

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Let's distribute So, we have have \[6(m+2+7m)\] \[(6)(m) = ?\] \[(6)(2) = ?\] \[(6)(7m) = ?\]

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

When distributing, let's take this expression for example, we multiply the 6 (The number outside the parenthesis) by everything that's in the parenthesis

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Right \[(6)(m)\] would simply be \[6m\] What would \[(6)(7m)\] be? This one is a combination of the first two

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Right do 6x7 first, then add the m on the end after calculating

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Alright, so we started with \[6(m+2+7m)\] When just distributed the 6 into everything, giving us \[6m+12+42m\] That's our first example

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Now for the second, let's combine like terms \[6m + 12 +42m\] Does this expression have any like-terms?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

The 6m and the 42m do, because they both are a number that ends in m Because of this, we can add these together

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

We would do \[42m+6m = ?\]

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

We can then add that to the 12 to get \[12+48m\] As our second expression

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Yes

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Let's use the first expression we made, do you have that one?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Ok. Factor out a 6 for me, then

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

So, let's take a 6 out of that equation 6(6m + 12 + 42m) Now divide everything in the parenthesis by 6 (since you took a 6 out)

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

6m/6 12/6 42m/6

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Sure, lets say I have 2(x + 5 + 3x) After blah blah, we get 2x+10+6x Now we factor out a 2 2(2x+10 +6x) We then divide by 2 2x/2 = 2 10/2 = 5 6x/2 = 3x Those 3 answers are in the original, making the equivalent true

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

2x/2 = x I mean

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I don't do direct answers, especially with moderators question floating
