Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Benjamin must have 120 credit hours of instruction to receive his college degree and that he wants to graduate in 8 semesters without attending summer sessions.

The number of credit hours that Benjamin must take on average each semester to graduate in 8 semesters will be:

= 120/8

= 15 credit hours

(8) Simplify this expression: -4^2. This will be:

= -4 × -4

= 16
