What is the value of the expression?

300 + 34 – 8 · 2

365

746

608

300 + 34 - 8 * 2

1. multiply -8 by 2 to give you -16.

2. 300 + 34 - 16.

3. Add 34 to 300 to give you 334.

4. 334 - 16 = 318.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
