Luka, Zara, and Kim simplified the following expression: -3(x+4) – 2(5x – 6). Their work is shown below. Who simplified the expression correctly? Explain your answer. (Hint:
None, one, or two of the students could be correct.)
I
Luka
-3(x+4) - 2(5x-6)
-3(x+4) + -2(5x + -6)
-3x + -12 + -10x + 12
-13x
Zara
-3(x+4) - 2(5x-6)
-3x + -12 - (10x -12)
-3x + -12 - 10x + 12
-13x
Kim
-3(x+4) - 2(5x - 6)
-3x + -12 - 10x - 12
-13x - 24

Kim and Zara are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct simplification:

-3(x+4) - 2(5x-6)

-3x + (-12) - 10x + 12

-3x - 12 - 10x + 12

- 13x

step-by-step explanation:

< coa = 150 ( given)

as ba and bc are tangents

so oc and oa is perpendicular to cb and ab respectively because in circle normal passes through centre

so in quadrilateral oabc

< coa + < oab + < ocb + < abc = 360

150 +90+90 + < abc = 360

330 + < abc = 360

< abc = 360 -330 = 30

so < abc = 30
