Question

(2r + 1) - (2 - 8r)

simplify

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

First, distribute the negative sign in the second parenthesis:

(2r + 1) - 2 + 8r

Then combine like terms:

2r + 1 - 2 + 8r
= 10r - 1

Answer 2

(7n^2 - 4 6- 5n) + (8 + 8n)

simplify

Answer 3

To simplify the expression, first combine like terms that are within parentheses:

(7n^2 - 46 - 5n) + (8 + 8n)
= 7n^2 - 5n - 46 + 8 + 8n

Then combine like terms from both sets of parentheses:

7n^2 - 5n + 8n - 46 + 8
= 7n^2 + 3n - 38

Answer 4

x^2 + 12x + 20

factor each completely

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To factor the quadratic expression x^2 + 12x + 20 completely, we need to find two numbers that multiply to the constant term (20) and add up to the coefficient of the linear term (12).

The two numbers are 10 and 2 since 10 * 2 = 20 and 10 + 2 = 12.

Now we rewrite the middle term (12x = 10x + 2x):

x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20

Group the terms:

(x^2 + 10x) + (2x + 20)

Factor out the common factors from each group:

x(x + 10) + 2(x + 10)

Factor out the common binomial factor:

(x + 10)(x + 2)

Therefore, the completely factored form of x^2 + 12x + 20 is (x + 10)(x + 2).

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's factor the expression x^2 + 12x + 20 correctly.

To factor x^2 + 12x + 20, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 20 and add up to 12. The numbers are 10 and 2.

Now we rewrite the middle term (12x = 10x + 2x):

x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20

Group the terms:

(x^2 + 10x) + (2x + 20)

Factor out the common factors from each group:

x(x + 10) + 2(x + 10)

Factor out the common binomial factor:

(x + 10)(x + 2)

Therefore, the correct completely factored form of x^2 + 12x + 20 is (x + 10)(x + 2). Thank you for pointing out the error.
