Thread: class help please!

I've been needing some help with my algebra class.. thank you!


The ordered pair (2, 16) is a solution for which equation(s)? Check all that apply.
A. y = 2x2
B. y = (2x)2
C. y = 2x + 2
D. y = (x + 2)2


Here is my final problem I'm stuck at.. I read through my book several times but it does not mention what I do... My teacher said we whent over it in class.. But being absent has it's downs. =/

For each equation substitute in , if the result gives 16 then it is a solution, i'll do the first one

pickslides knows that this option is wrong. In fact, he clearly indicated that it was wrong. He started with option A and showed it was wrong as an example of how to follow his good advice:

The expectation was that you would test the remaining options in the same way until you found the option that worked.

Please try to focus on understanding the help you are given instead of trying to score a cheap point.
