What was his mistake?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]2 years ago
7 0

Circle the first line.

His mistake was: He substituted y from 2nd equation in 1st equation incorrectly. There is a minus sign before y and it wasn't taken into the account.

The correct steps are:

2x - y = 18

2x - (4x + 2) = 18

2x - 4x - 2 = 18

-2x - 2 = 18

-2x = 20

x = -10

y = 4x + 2

y = 4(-10) + 2

y = -40 + 2

y = -38

What’s the correct answer
REY [17]

To find this you need to first figure out ow many total dresses were surveyed, which is 162. Now to find the percent you first need to take the number of red dresses and divide it by the total, so 14/162. That equals 0.086. Then to get to a percent, shift the decimal two places to the right, so 8.6%. The round to the nearest percent which is 9%. So the correct answer would be A.

Artemon [7]
Let she work for x hours as carpenter !
so earned money = 20x

and for blacksmith she must work for 30-x hours 


so earned money = (30-x) ×25

so putting in eqn;

20x+25(30-x) = 690 
so, x= 60/5 = 12 

so she works for carpenter for 12 hrs and 30-12= 18 hrs for blacksmith
