Question

Andrew says that the value of expression A is more than 3 times the value of expression B. Do you agree? Why or why not? Expression A: 1+(5+5)^2 Expression B: 1+5+5^2

Answer 1

Expression A:
`1+(5+5)^2=1+(10)^2=1+100=101`
Expression B:
`1+5+5^2=1+5+25=31`
Three times the value of Expression B would be 93. 101 is greater than 93. So yes, the value of Expression A is greater than the value of Expression B.
