Carolyn was asked to solve the following system of equations. Her work is shown.

What error did Carolyn make? Identify her mistake and explain the error.


1. Carolyn did not subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

2. Carolyn did not distribute the -2 to both terms

3. Carolyn did not substitute x + 2 for y

4. Carolyn did not substitute 3 for x to find the value of y for the solution

Carolyn Was Asked To Solve The Following System Of Equations. Her Work Is Shown.What Error Did Carolyn

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Carolyn did not distribute the -2 to both terms

Step-by-step explanation:

This was how Carolyn solved the second step:

[tex]3x-2(x+2)=7\\3x-2x+4=7[/tex]

She did multiply both terms in the parentheses by 2, but she did not change the sign for the 4. It should instead be -4 since a negative number multiplied by a positive number will always make a negative number.

Here is the correct way of solving it:

[tex]3x-2(x+2)=7\\3x-2x-4=7[/tex]

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Question-6:

we are given a equation

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - x) + \log_{4}( 6 - x) = 2[/tex]

to solve so

recall logarithm multiplication law:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - x \times (6 - x)) = 2[/tex]

simplify multiplication:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - 6 x + {x}^{2} ) = 2[/tex]

remember [tex]\displaystyle \log_{4}(4^2)=2[/tex]

so

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - 6 x + {x}^{2} ) = \log_{4}( {4}^{2} ) [/tex]

cancel out [tex]\log_4[/tex] from both sides:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} = {4}^{2} [/tex]

simplify squares:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} = 16[/tex]

move left hand side expression to right hand side and change its sign:

since we are moving left hand side expression to right hand side there'll be only 0 left in the left hand side

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} - 16 = 0[/tex]

rewrite it to standard form i.e ax²+bx+c=0

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 6x - 16 = 0[/tex]

rewrite -6x as 2x-8x:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} + 2x - 8x - 16 = 0[/tex]

factor out x and 8:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: x {(x}^{} + 2) - 8(x + 2) = 0[/tex]

group:

[tex] \sf \displaystyle \: (x - 8){(x}^{} + 2) = 0[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle \: x = 8 \\ x = - 2 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore \: x = - 2[/tex]

Question-7:

move left hand side log to right hand side:

[tex] \displaystyle \: \log(x ) + \log(x - 21) = 2 [/tex]

use mutilation logarithm rule;

[tex] \displaystyle \: \log( {x}^{2} - 21x) = 2 [/tex]

[tex]\log(10^2)=2[/tex] so

[tex] \displaystyle \: \log( {x}^{2} - 21x) = \log({10}^{2} )[/tex]

cancel out log from both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 21x = 100[/tex]

make it standard form:

[tex] \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 21x - 100= 0[/tex]

factor:

[tex] \displaystyle \: {(x} + 4)(x - 25)= 0[/tex]

so

[tex] \displaystyle \: x = 25[/tex]

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 300 ml of sucrose and 750ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of water, sucrose and saline solution needed as a ratio in its simplest form.​

Answers

Answer:

20ml : 6ml: 15ml

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 milliters is 1 liter, so we would have to convert it to the ml so that it will all be in proportion. To simplify a ratio, divide by a number they can all be divided by. In this case, it was 10 first, so it made it 100: 30: 75. Then, to simplify it more, they can all be divided by 5, which is the lowest it can be since 20: 6: 15 have no numbers in common to be divided by.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse.

sin 45 = x ÷ 23

0.71 = x ÷ 23

0.71 × 23 = x

x = 16.26

~ 16.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem     a² + b² = c²

in this triangle a = x and b = x  so   x² + x²  = c²       c is the hypotenuse

         

                 x² + x²  = c²

                   2x² = c²             since c = 23 solve for x

                     x² =  c² / 2

                     x   =  ± √(c² / 2)

                     x   =  ± √(23² /2)

                          = ± √(529 /2)            

                          = ± √(264.5)            

                          =  16.26          x can't be negative

        That is correct but it doesn't answer the question

                 x = ??? / √xx

           sin 45  = √2 / 2  which equals    x / 23

                      √2 / 2  =    x / 23

                       x =  23 (√2 / 2)

                          =  23 (√2)  / 2             divide the √2 numerator and demenator

                          =  23 (√2)/√2 / (2 / √2)

                           = 23 / (2 / √2)

[tex]4\frac{19}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope I did this right:

So first thing to do is set up the equation.

[tex]K + \frac{1}{3} = 5\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Next thing to to is subtract 1/3 from both sides to get:

[tex]K = 5\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Next up, you will multiply each of the fractions by the opposing value

(multiply 1/8 by 3 and 1/3 by 8)

[tex]K = 5\frac{3}{24}[/tex][tex]-\frac{8}{24}[/tex]

Alright almost done, by multiplying 24 by 5 you get 120, that will go in the numerator to make the math a lot easier.

K = [tex]\frac{123}{24}[/tex][tex]-\frac{8}{24}[/tex]

Finally, you subtract 123 over 24 by 8 over 24.

K = [tex]\frac{123}{24} - \frac{8}{24} = \frac{115}{24}[/tex]

Then just simplfy the 115/24 to get

A bag contains 25 kg of flour. A baker used 80% of it to bake bread. How much flour,in kg,remained ?​

Answers

Answer:

5 kg flour remains

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of the original 25 kg comes to 0.80(25 kg), or 20 kg.  We convert 80% to its decimal equivalent, 0.80, to get this result  

The amount of flour remaing is then (1.00 - 0.80)(25 kg), or 0.20(25 kg) = 5 kg.

5 kg flour remains.

Answer:

25 - 20 = 5 kg

Steps:

25×80/100 = 25×8/10 = 200/10 = 20 kg

25 - 20 = 5 kg

Therefore total number of students who either history, economics or history and economics: 14 + 7 + 5 = 26

Therefore students who take neither: 35 - 26 = 9

students who take neither: 35 - 26 = 9.

In AABC, what is AB to the nearest tenth?

Answers

Answer:

AB = 9.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of AB

To do this, we are going to make use of the sine rule

for the sine rule, the ratio of the measure of a side and the sine of the angle that faces the side is a constant value for a triangle

Thus, we have it that; in a triangle ABC

a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C

using the triangle given;

we need the measure of the angle at C

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180

thus;

C + 93 + 48 = 180

C = 180 - 93 -48

C = 39 degrees

Now, to get the value of AB;

AB/sin 39 = 15/sin 93

AB = (15 * sin 39)/sin 93

AB = 9.5 units

A salesman earns 7% commission on all the merchandise that he sells. Last month he sold $6000 worth of merchandise. How much commission (in dollars) did he earn last month?

Answers

Answer: $420

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage on commission earned = 7%

Amount of merchandise sold = $6000

Amount of commission earned = Percentage on commission earned × Amount of merchandise sold

= 7% × $6000

= 7/100 × $6000

= 0.07 × $6000

= $420

He earned $420 as commission last month.
