Grace, chelsea, and roan are simplifying the same polynomial expression. which students work is correct and why?

Grace

Step-by-step explanation:

Chelsea and Roan didn't distribute the negative sign in the second half of the first expression.

-2(x - 8) is

-2(x) + (-2)(-8)

   -2x + 16

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
