Simplify the following expression:
4(4x - 8x + 5)

16x + 20
16x - 20
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬‾16x + 20
‾16x - 20

Explanation

Answer: C - 4(4x - 8x + 5) can be simplified as ‾16x + 20. You would multiply 4 by each of the numbers and then subtract 32 from 16 to get ‾16x. ‾16x - 20 cannot be simplified any further.

Yesterday’s Millers, Today’s FarmersThe miller in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales was obviously a powerful man. Given that his position was the third highest in the land, he was not a member of society that was disregarded for his influence and power. In modern times, the miller is most comparable to today’s farmer. In comparing and contrasting the miller to today’s farmer, there are vast differences, including social status and money earned, but similarities exist in the intense labor required of both. In the twenty-first century, Americans and populations around the globe rely on farmers for food; the same was true for the miller that is represented in The Canterbury Tales. A distinct difference between a farmer and the miller is their social status. The miller was considered to be the third most powerful person in the land. When one compares this prestigious role to today’s farmers, the reality is that today’s agricultural workers are not regarded as authoritative. Today’s men and women who work diligently to supply the world with food in the form of produce and meat are highly needed, yet remain underappreciated. Certainly, the miller and the farmer are alike in their desire and need to make money. No one would perform the work required by the miller and today’s farmers if one could not earn money to provide for basic needs. In a contrast to today’s farmers, the miller was known to be a cheat; he often overcharged people and behaved in a rude, disrespectful manner. Comparatively, today’s farmers tend to work diligently to provide a basic need at fair prices. Perhaps the reason that the miller in Chaucer’s work was able to deceive people and overcharge was due to his social status; as previously noted, today’s farmers are far from third in power. Both occupations require intense physical labor. Farmers often work from sunrise until sunset. This specific occupation does not permit vacations, since the work will not wait. If crops and animals are not given the required attention, the products will not yield a substantial return. Even in the miller’s work, the grinding of corn and wheat had to occur within a short time frame. This alone requires both farmers and the miller to provide a lot of time and devotion to their respective careers, often sacrificing freedoms that many other people in differing professions take for granted. Geoffrey Chaucer’s work, The Canterbury Tales, was composed several centuries ago, yet there are similarities presented in the miller’s work when compared to today’s farmers. Though there are distinct differences in these roles, both are critical to survival. The miller was regarded as higher in status, yet worked to provide for his basic needs, just as farmers do today; without a doubt, both occupations require responsibility to be at the forefront of their work.Which of the following phrases from the passage denotes a key trait of farmers that the miller lacked?

After a peak period of exploration and classification of new species in the 1930s, the discovery of new creatures on the planet dropped significantly and has continued to decline. It is tempting, in light of the decreasing frequency of new identifications, to believe that all of the species in the natural world have been discovered. That, however, is not the case. In fact, in August of 2013, researchers from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History confirmed the discovery of a new species of mammal, the olinguito. The first indication that a new species might exist was identified in 2003. Kristofer Helgen, the curator of mammals at the museum, was evaluating specimens at a museum in Chicago when he discovered a collection of pelts that he had never seen before. “They were these rich, red skins with flowing fur,” noted Helgen. The data gathered with the skins identified their native locale as the northern Andes Mountains, at elevations higher than those common to the olingo, a related species they somewhat resembled. Spurred on by this discovery, Helgen assembled a team of researchers from the United States and Ecuador and set out to search for the animal in the Otanga Cloud Forest Preserve of Ecuador. The team happened upon the animal their first night in the jungle. Through their work on that first journey and several subsequent trips the team not only confirmed the existence of the new species, but also four subspecies. In their research, the team discovered that a live olinguito actually lived in the United States during the 1960s. The female olinquito was moved from zoo to zoo and refused to mate with olingos. Although the olinguito was only identified recently, it is neither rare nor endangered. Researchers estimate that thousands of the animals inhabit the forests of the preserve. The only major threat is the impact of deforestation on their habit, and even that, to this point, doesn’t seem to have a serious effect. The purpose of the opening sentence in this passage is:
