The work of a student to solve the equation 3(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 5 is shown below: Step 1. 3(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 5 Step 2. 6x − 7

= 13 + 2x Step 3. 6x − 2x = 13 + 7 Step 4. 4x = 20 Step 5. x = 5 In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step? (1 point) Step 2, 9x − 12 = 13 + 2x Step 2, 9x − 4 = 2(6 + x + 3) Step 3, 6x + 2x = 13 + 7 Step 3, 6x − 2x = 13 − 7

Answer:

  (a)  Step 2. 9x -12 = 13 +2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says a factor outside parentheses multiplies each term inside parentheses. It is an error to do addition of the factor, or to miss multiplying a term.

In Step 2 of this "solution", the factor of 3 is erroneously <em>added</em> to each coefficent inside parentheses. It should be <em>multiplied</em>.

Correct Step 2: 9x -12 = 13 +2x

__

The rest of the solution should be ...

  Step 3: 9x -2x = 13 +12

  Step 4: 7x = 25

  Step 5: x = 25/7

___

<em>Check</em>

  3(3(25/7) -4) = 8 + 2(25/7) +5

  3((75 -28)/7) = 13 +50/7

  141/7 = 141/7 . . . . . answer checks OK

-6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6<br> answer in simplified form
koban [17]

Answer:

The simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the following

-6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6

it can be written as:

=(-6.3x+14) + (1.5x-6)

Adding the like terms

=(-6.3x+1.5x)+(14-6)

= (-4.8x)+(8)

= -4.8x+8

So, the simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8

V125BC [204]
The work has one step: divide the expression by 3.
.. -4 > x

Because the symbol is "greater than", the circle at x=-4 is an open circle.

Jessica knows that the adult population gets, on average, eight hours of sleep each night. A hypothesis test can help her see if
Nitella [24]

Answer:

-4.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population mean (pm) = 8 hours

Sample mean (sm) = 6.9 hours

Number of observations (n) = 101 students

Sample standard deviation (sd) = 2.5

Using the t-statistic formula :

[(sm - pm) / (sd/√n)]

Hence,

[(6.9 - 8) / (2.5/√101)]

[(-1.1) / (2.5/10.05)]

-1.1 / 0.2487562

= −4.422

The test statistic = - 4.42 to the nearest hundredth.
