Mickey simplified the expression below. He then checked his work by substituting 4 for x. He noticed his two values were not equal. What was Mickey’s error when simplifying?

Expression
2x(2)-4x-9-x(2)+2x+3
Simplified Expression
x(2)-6x-6
Mickey should have added –4 and 2 when combining the coefficients of the x terms.
Mickey should have added 2 and 1 when combining the x squared terms.
Mickey should have added 9 and 3 when combining the constant terms.
Mickey should have added –4 and –1 when combining the x terms.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

0

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
