8 h + 4 p = 160. p = 4 h + 2.

What is Jean-Paul’s error?
A. Jean-Paul should have written the first equation as h + p = 160.
B. Jean-Paul should have written the first equation as 4 h + 8 p = 160.
C. Jean-Paul should have written the second equation as h = 4 p + 2.
D. Jean-Paul should have written the second equation as p + 2 = 4 h.

Jean-Paul's error is that he should have written the second equation as h = 4 p + 2.

<h3 />

<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>

The hardcover book is $8 each and paperbacks for $4 each.

The number of hardcover books, h, sold one day was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day.

Therefore,

h = 4p + 2

Hence,

8h + 4p = 160

Therefore, the right equation are as follows:

h = 4p + 2

8h + 4p = 160

Hence, Jean-Paul should have written the second equation as h = 4 p + 2.

9. Find the sum of the first 6 terms of the sequence: –3, 1, 5, 9, . . . options: A) 25 B) 48 C) 42
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

C. 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d = 4 and first term a = -3.

Sum of n terms = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]

Sum of  six terms = (6/2)[2(-3) + (6 - 1)4]

= 3 * (-6 + 20)

= 42.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

148 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 3{:}32\text{ p.M.}3:32 p.M.3, colon, 32, start text, space, p, point, m, point, end text and Emma has gymnastics lessons at 6{:}00\text{ p.M.}6:00 p.M.6, colon, 00, start text, space, p, point, m, point, end text How many minutes are there until Emma's gymnastics lessons?\

The time is 3:32 pm

Emma's gymnastics lesson is at 6:00 pm

6:00 pm - 3:32 pm = 2 hours 28 minutes

That is, we have 28 minutes before 4:00 pm

And 2 hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm making a total of 2 hours 28 minutes

How many minutes are there until Emma's gymnastics lessons?

Convert 2 hours 28 minutes to minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

2 hours = 60 minutes × 2 = 120 minutes

120 minutes + 28 minutes = 148 minutes

2 hours 28 minutes to minutes = 148 minutes

A classmate simplifies the expression in exercise 1. is the expression he wrote equivalent to the original expression? explain.
AlladinOne [14]
Excercise 1:

No, this is not simplified fully. The full answer would be <span>−7dk+14d−21k</span>−7, not <span>14d - 9 - 21k - 7dk + 2. So, it is not equivalent.
</span><span>
Excercise 4:
</span><span>7dk (2 - 3 - 1) - 7
</span>
Just multiply 7dk into (2) (-3) and (-1)
you'd get:
<span><span>−<span>14dk</span></span>+</span>−<span>7 after simplifying it fully.
