Kimmie solves the follow expression, looking at her steps, explain her mistake. 3x (3+ 12 = 3)-4
3x (15 = 3)-4
3x5-4
15-4
11

-6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

3x(3+12=3)-4

3x(15=3)-4

3x(15/-3)-4

3x(-5)-4

3x(20)

x=20/-3

x= -6.67

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
