8.3 + 3.4y - 0.5 (12y - 7)

-2.6y + 11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -0.5 into 12y and -7 to get to this equation, 8.3 + 3.4y - 6y + 3.5.  Combine the two like terms together to get your answer which is -2.6y + 11.8.

256π units²   (answer b)

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the surface area of a sphere of radius r

is             a = 4πr²

and so, if r = 8 units, then the surface area is:

a = 4π(8 units)² = 256π units²   (answer b)

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
