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
