Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2
The correct solution is 75.
Answer:
13. -3 14. (x+1)(2x-7) / (x-6)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
easiest thing to do is combine like terms. There are 9 2's, which means 9(2) which equals 18. Now for the X's. There are 9 X's meaning (9)x which is 9x. This all makes up
18+9x
