Mir evaluated 5x - (x + 3)2 for x = 2, as shown. Describe Amir's mistake and find the correct answer. 5(2) - (2 + 3)2 = 10 + (-5)2 = 10 + 25 = 35

correct answer =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

5x - (x + 3)2

Putting the coefficient of x =2 in the equaton we have

5(2) - (2 + 3)2

Solving out

5(2) - (5)2

= 10- 10

=0

Step 2

Amir's mistake was in the multiplication  and wrong use of the negative sign of the bolded below

5(2) - (2 + 3)2 = 10 + (-5)2 = 10 + 25 = 35

-(5)2 cannot give 25 instead 10, so him getting a 25 and wrong use of the negative and positive made his answer wrong.

The right answer as calculated in step 1 = 0

Amir didn't follow the order of operations and is wrong. Amir should have squared 5 and then subtracted rather than distributing the negative and squaring it. The correct answer is -15

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
