Brianna's teacher asks her which of these three expressions are equivalent to each other.
expression a: 9x - 3x - 4
expression b: 12x - 4
expression c: 5x + x - 4
brianna says that all three expressions are equivalent because the value of each one is -4 when x = 0
brianna's thinking is incorrect. yes or no
identify the error in brianna's thinking. determine which of the three expressions are equivalent.

Brianna is correct about the situation when x=0. But you can't say that
expressions are really equivalent unless they have the same value for
EVERY 'x', no matter what it is.

Expressions 'A' and 'C' will do that. But Expression 'B' won't, unless x=0.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.

On a certain portion of an experiment, a statistical test result yielded a p-value of 0.21. what can you conclude? 2(0.21) = 0.42 < 0.5; the test is not statistically significant. if the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 21% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant. 0.21 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant. if the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 79% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant. p = 1 - 0.21 = 0.79 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant.
