Find the sum or difference. (3a – 3a^2) + (5 + 8a)

a: a^2 + 11a + 5

b: –3a^2 + 11a + 5

c: 3a^2 + 11a + 5

d: –3a^2 + 11a – 5

B = –3a^2 + 11a + 5

For difference, the answer is

-3a^2 -5a -5

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a – 3a^2) + (5 + 8a)

To find the sum or difference, we will open the brackets.

To look for l the sum, we add

3a – 3a^2 + 5 + 8a

Collecting like terms,

= -3a^2 +8a + 3a +5

= -3a^2 + 11a + 5

Option B is the right answer.

To look for the difference, we subtract.

(3a – 3a^2) - (5 + 8a)

Opening the brackets

3a – 3a^2 - 5 - 8a

Collecting like terms

-3a^2 + 3a -8a -5

= -3a^2 -5a -5

The options available corresponds only to what we got for the sum, so

-3a^2 + 11a + 5 is the answer

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
