Tina solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:

Step 1: 8x = 24
Step 2: x = 24 − 8
Step 3: x = 16

Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Tina's solution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 2 should be division, not subtraction.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction Left to Right

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

8x = 24

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 8:                    x = 3

We see that 8x is actually 8 times x. Therefore, we would need to use the Division Property of Equality to isolate x and get our answer.

When the sum of a number, n, and 6 is divided by 4 the
result is equal to 5. Set up and solve an equation to find
the value of n.

Answers

Answer:

n = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(n + 6)4 = 5

1. multiply by 4

n + 6 = 20

2. substract 6

n = 14

The required value of n is 14 in the given sum.

What is algebra?

Algebra is the analysis of mathematical representations, while logic is the manipulation of those symbols.

We have been given that the sum of a number, n, and 6 is divided by 4 the result is equal to 5.

According to the given question, we can write the algebraic form would be as:

⇒ (n + 6)/4 = 5

Apply the cross-multiplication operation,

⇒ (n + 6) = 5 × 4

Apply the multiplication operation,

⇒ (n + 6) = 20

⇒ n = 20 - 6

Apply the subtraction operation,

⇒ n = 14

Therefore, the required value of n is 14.

The product of two consecutive integers is 72.
Which of the following could be their sum?
E. -17
F. -1
G. 1
H. 18

Answers

Answer:

First I would find the square root of 72 with a calculator, which happens to be 8.49 (rounded to the nearest hundreth)

So we know that the two integers will be close to 8.48

Since they are consecutive, lets first test out 8 and 9

We multiply these two and get 72, which is the number we were looking for.

now we find their sum.

9 + 8 = 17

Now since this is not part of the answers, we now asume that both 9 and 8 are negative numbers, since negative times a negative is a positive, but a negative plus a negative can still be negative.

-9 + -8 = -9 - 8 = -17!

So, the answer you are looking for is E: -17

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (1, 3) are the solutions to the function g(x), then

g(x) = (x – 1)(x – 3) = x² –3x – x + 3 = x² – 4x + 3

We know that f(x) is on the same plane and f(1) = 1.

Let's take g(1) = (1 – 1)(1 – 3) = 0

Therefore, when x = 1; f = 1 and g = 0. Hence

g(1) = f(1) – 1

In order words, g(x) could be f(x) – 1.

The correct option is A

Ob babysits the kids next door every day after school for 1.5 hours. He earns $3.50 an hour. How much money will he earn in 6 weeks if school is in session 5 days a week the whole time? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

$157.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of hours worked after the school = 1.5 hours

Earnings per hour = $3.50

Earnings for one day or 1.5 hours = 1.5 \times 3.50 = $5.25

Earnings for 5 days or a week = Number of days [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings for 1.5 hours = 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 5.25 = $26.25

Number of weeks for which Ob works = 6

Total earnings in 6 weeks = Number of weeks [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings in one week = Number of weeks [tex]\times[/tex] Earnings in 5 days

Total earnings in 6 weeks = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] $26.25 = $157.5

You and your friend join a new gym that requires a one-time joining fee and monthly payments. Your friend chooses the 1 year plan and pays $687, while you elect the 18 month contract which costs $981. Use this information to determine the linear model used to calculate cost from months of membership.

Answers

Answer:

C = 99 + 49m

x = $99

y = $49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = one time joining fee

y = monthly payment

Your friend:

1 year = 12 months

x + 12y = $687

You:

x + 18y = $981

x + 12y = 687 (1)

x + 18y = 981 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

18y - 12y = 981 - 687

6y = 294

Divide both sides by 6

y = 294 /6

= 49

x = $49

Substitute y = 49 into

x + 12y = 687

x + 12(49) = 687

x + 588 = 687

x = 687 - 588

= 99

x = $99

C = 99 + 49m

Where,

C = total charges

m = number of months

99 = a one time joining fee

49 = charges per month

Max has a drawer full of green and red socks. He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks. Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36. How many of each colour does he have?

Answers

Answer:

There are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are r red socks and g green socks.

ATQ,

He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks.

4g-3r=50 ....(1)

Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36.

[tex]\dfrac{g}{2}+\dfrac{r}{3}=36\\\\3g+2r=216\ .....(2)[/tex]

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

8g-6r = 100 ....(3)

9g +6r = 648 ....(4)

Add equation (3) and (4)

8g-6r + 9g +6r = 100+648

17g = 748

g = 44

Put the value of g in equation (1).

4(44)-3r=50

176-3r = 50

176-50 = 3r

r = 42

Hence, there are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks.

Answers

Answer:

No, they are not inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if this are inverses we will have to switch the x and y in one of the equations. Let's do it with the second equation:

(Remember that f(x)/g(x) and y are virtually the same)

y = -4x + 2

Switch x and y

x = -4y + 2

Now solve for y

x - 2 = -4y

[tex]-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = y\\-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = y[/tex]

Therefore, the 2 functions in the question are not inverses of each other because the actual inverse has a negative in front of the -x/4.
