Hi guys can you me evaluating expressions

26.) 3(2)² - 8(-3)²

= 3*4 - 8 + 9

= 12 - 8 + 9 = 13

27.) I 7 - 4(2) I

7 - 8 = -1, but  since this is absolute value, which is a number's distance from zero, your answer for 27 would be a positive one.

28.) (-2)² + 2(-3 * 1)

= 4 + 2(-3)

= 4 + (-6) = 4 - 6 = -2

29.) 7(-4)² + 5 / 4(1) - (-5)

=7 * 16 + 5 / 4 + 5

= 112 + 5 / 9 = 117/9 = 13

30.) Product: the result of a multiplication problem

Increased by: multiplied by

3(n * 7)

31.) 2n - 1

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

can you complete your sentence? i could !
