A. Are the expressions 3(m - 2) + 2(m - 2) and 5(m - 2) equivalent expressions
B. in two or more complete sentences, justify your answer to A.

Yes they are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you calculate 3(m - 2) + 2(m - 2) you will see it will equal to 5(m - 2) therefore, they are equal.

They both equal 5m - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the expressions 3(m - 2) + 2(m -2) and 5(m - 2) are equal ,because 3(m - 2) + 2(m - 2) and 5(m - 2) simplified equal 5m - 10.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)

step-by-step explanation:

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
