Raul simplified the expression, as shown below. –[3h + 7h(2 – h)] = –[10h(2 – h)] = –[20h – h] = –19h

Describe the error(s) in Raul’s work.

Raul's errors are in the application of the distributive property(he applied it wrongly), in not respecting the precedence of operations, and in the multiplication of two terms with the same base(we add the exponent).

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

The distributive property of multiplication is:

a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c

Precedence of operations:

First multiplication, then addition.

Multiplication of terms with the same base:

The multiplication of h*h = h², which Raul missed.

The correct simplification is given by:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
