what's no.5
Apologies for the incorrect response in the previous answer. Let's solve number 5 again:
5. Simplify 13(9x − 5)
To simplify this expression, we distribute the 13 to both terms inside the parentheses:
13 * 9x - 13 * 5
This simplifies to:
117x - 65
So the correct answer is 117x - 65.
5. Simplify 13(9x − 5)
To simplify this expression, we distribute the 13 to both terms inside the parentheses:
13 * 9x - 13 * 5
This simplifies to:
117x - 65
So the correct answer is 117x - 65.

To simplify the expression 1/3(9x - 5), we need to distribute the 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
(1/3) * 9x - (1/3) * 5
This simplifies to:
3x - 5/3
So the correct answer is 3x - 5/3.
(1/3) * 9x - (1/3) * 5
This simplifies to:
3x - 5/3
So the correct answer is 3x - 5/3.

Scientists often rely on data as evidence when looking at an animal's reproductive success.
A student is analyzing data that compare the change in the total number of wading bird nests in the Everglades to the change in rainfall. Wading birds feed primarily on fish. Fewer nests were observed in dry years than wet years.
What is a reasonable inference about the relationship between wading bird reproductive success and water depth in the Everglades?
(1 point)
Responses
Water depth likely affects wading birds’ access to food, but this does not affect wading birds’ reproductive success.
