C. >

Answers

  1. Answer:
    First I would simplify each side in order to determine the symbol.
    2 × 18 – 18 ? 2 × [28 – 3(2 +4)]    I will simplify the left side first. Multiply 2 and 18
    36 – 18 ? 2 × [28 – 3(2+4)]
    18 ? 2 × [28 – 3(2 + 4)]         Now simplify the right side. Add 2 and 4
    18 ? 2 × [28 – 3(6)]       Next multiply 3 and 6
    18 ? 2 × [28 – 18]
    18 ? 2 × 10
    18 ? 20
    18 < 20   Your answer is C because 18 is less than 20
    First find the value of the give expression
    2(a + 6)   Since a = 2, plug in 2 for a
    2(2 + 6)
    2(8) = 16
    A.) 2a + a²   Plug in 2 for a
    2(2) + (2)²
    4 + 4 = 8
    B.) 4a + 8   Plug in 2 for a
    4(2) + 8
    8 + 8 = 16
    Neither A or B have a value greater than the given expression
