expand 6 (x+1)

To expand 6(x+1), you need to distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying 6 by both x and 1 separately.

6(x+1) = 6*x + 6*1

Simplifying the expression, we have:

6x + 6

So, the expanded form of 6(x+1) is 6x + 6.

Expand 4(3z − 7).(1 point)

To expand 4(3z − 7), you need to distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying 4 by both 3z and -7 separately.

4(3z − 7) = 4 * 3z + 4 * -7

Simplifying the expression, we have:

12z - 28

So, the expanded form of 4(3z − 7) is 12z - 28.

Expand −5(2q + 8)

To expand −5(2q + 8), you need to distribute the -5 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying -5 by both 2q and 8 separately.

−5(2q + 8) = -5 * 2q + -5 * 8

Simplifying the expression, we have:

-10q - 40

So, the expanded form of −5(2q + 8) is -10q - 40.

Expand 7/10(5d+6).

To expand 7/10(5d+6), you need to distribute the 7/10 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying 7/10 by both 5d and 6 separately.

7/10(5d+6) = (7/10) * 5d + (7/10) * 6

To simplify the expression, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

(7/10) * 5d = (7 * 5)/(10 * 1) * d = 35/10 * d = 3.5d

(7/10) * 6 = (7 * 6)/(10 * 1) = 42/10 = 4.2

So, the expanded form of 7/10(5d+6) is 3.5d + 4.2.

Expand 7/10(5d+6).(1 point)

Responses

72d + 215
72d + 215

35d + 6
35d + 6

5d
+ 215
5 d + 21 fifths

35d + 42

The expanded form of 7/10(5d+6) is 35/10 * d + 7/10 * 6 simplifying it gives

(35/10) * d = 3.5d

(7/10) * 6 = 42/10 = 4.2

Therefore, the expanded form of 7/10(5d+6) is 3.5d + 4.2.

Expand −5/8(3p+8).(1 point)

Responses

3p + 8
3p + 8

−158 p−5
−158 p−5

−158 + 3p
−158 + 3p

−15p + (−40)

To expand −5/8(3p+8), you need to distribute the -5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying -5/8 by both 3p and 8 separately.

−5/8(3p+8) = (-5/8) * 3p + (-5/8) * 8

To simplify the expression, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

(-5/8) * 3p = (-5 * 3)/(8 * 1) * p = -15/8 * p = -1.875p

(-5/8) * 8 = (-5 * 8)/(8 * 1) = -40/8 = -5

So, the expanded form of −5/8(3p+8) is -1.875p - 5.

Expand −58(3p+8).(1 point)

Responses

3p + 8

−15/8 p−5

−15/8 + 3p

−15p + (−40)

To expand −58(3p+8), you need to distribute the −58 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying −58 by both 3p and 8 separately.

−58(3p+8) = −58 * 3p + −58 * 8

Simplifying the expression, we have:

−174p - 464

So, the expanded form of −58(3p+8) is −174p - 464.

Sure, I apologize for the confusion. The correct expanded form of −58(3p+8) is −174p - 464.

The expanded form of −58(3p+8) is -174p - 464. None of the given options match the correct expanded form.

Expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property.(1 point)

Responses

5y + 2
5 y plus 2

6y + 7
6 y plus 7

5y + 10
5 y plus 10

6y + 10

To expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, you multiply 5 by both terms inside the parentheses.

5(y + 2) = 5 * y + 5 * 2

Simplifying the expression, we have:

5y + 10

So, the correct expanded form of 5(y + 2) is 5y + 10.

Expand −5(−3 − 11g).(1 point)

Responses

​​​55g − 15
55 g minus 15

55g + 15
55 g plus 15

−55g − 15
negative 55 g minus 15

−55g + 15

To expand −5(−3 − 11g) using the distributive property, you multiply -5 by both terms inside the parentheses.

−5(−3 − 11g) = -5 * -3 - 5 * -11g

Simplifying the expression, we have:

15 + 55g

So, the correct expanded form of −5(−3 − 11g) is 15 + 55g.

Expand 13(q−6) using the Distributive Property.(1 point)

Responses

−13q+2
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 2

13q−2
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 2

13q−6
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 6

−13q+6

To expand 13(q−6) using the distributive property, you multiply 13 by both terms inside the parentheses.

13(q−6) = 13 * q - 13 * 6

Simplifying the expression, we have:

13q - 78

So, the correct expanded form of 13(q−6) is 13q - 78.

Rebecca was born on December 3rd, 2009, what grade is she in?

A. 8th
B. 7th
C. 9th
D. 6th

To determine the grade in which Rebecca is currently in, we need to consider the current year and the typical grade placement based on age or years of schooling.

As an AI, I don't have access to the current year. However, assuming the current year is 2022, we can calculate Rebecca's grade.

If Rebecca was born on December 3rd, 2009, and the current year is 2022, she would be 12 years old.

Typically, a 12-year-old student would be in 7th grade. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 7th grade.

as of 2023

If the current year is 2023, and Rebecca was born on December 3rd, 2009, she would be 13 years old in 2023.

Typically, a 13-year-old student would be in 8th grade. Therefore, the correct answer would be A. 8th grade.

PT2.

Natalie, Rebecca's twin sister, was held back a year due to an ear infection. What grade is she in as of 2023?

If Natalie is Rebecca's twin sister and was held back a year due to an ear infection, we can assume that Natalie was also born on December 3rd, 2009.

Considering that the current year is 2023, Natalie and Rebecca would still be the same age, as they were born on the same day. Therefore, Natalie would also be 13 years old in 2023.

If Natalie was held back a year, she would be one grade below Rebecca. So, as of 2023, Natalie would be in 7th grade.

Thus, the correct answer is B. 7th grade.

PT3

Natalie, is very self conscious that she is one year below her twin sister. What should she do?

If Natalie is self-conscious about being one year below her twin sister, it's important to address her concerns and help her develop a positive mindset. Here are some suggestions for Natalie:

1. Encourage self-acceptance: Help Natalie understand that everyone has different paths and progress at their own pace. Emphasize the importance of embracing oneself and valuing personal growth regardless of external factors.

2. Focus on her strengths: Encourage Natalie to focus on her own unique strengths, talents, and achievements. Help her recognize that success is not solely determined by grade level, but by personal growth, character development, and pursuing her passions.

3. Foster a supportive environment: Surround Natalie with supportive friends, family, and mentors who can help build her confidence and believe in her abilities. Promote a positive and inclusive environment where individual differences are valued.

4. Set personalized goals: Encourage Natalie to set her own goals based on her individual strengths and interests. Help her create a plan to work towards those goals, building self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.

5. Seek guidance and support: If Natalie continues to struggle with self-confidence, it may be beneficial to seek guidance from a counselor, teacher, or mental health professional who can provide additional support and strategies to address her concerns.

Remember, the focus should be on empowering Natalie to embrace her unique journey and appreciate her own growth and achievements, rather than comparing herself to others.
