Answer:
No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly
Correct Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 2) = 30
Step 1: Distribute
4x + 2 = 30 
This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4
to x and 2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x
4x = 28 This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
x = 7 This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1

Let's find the correct answer to this equation:</h3><h3>4(x +2) = 30</h3>
Step 1: Distribute
Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.
4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)
= 4x + 8
4x + 8 = 30
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x
Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides (opposite operation of adding 8)
4x + 8 = 30
4x = 30 - 8
4x = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x
Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself
4x = 32
4(x) = 32
x = 32 ÷ 4
x = 8

Answer:
Area=Base length x Height
Area= O x g.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Do you mean 27 units² ?
A cube has six congruent, square faces. Area of one face = (27/6) units²
Length of one edge = √(27/6)
= √(9/2)
= √9/√2
= 3/√2
= 3√2/2 units
<span>Subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation would be a reasonable first step in solving this equation as it properly combines like terms to the left side of the equation. It quickly shows that the next step would be adding 1 to both sides of the equation, which would have us arrive at the answer of x = 5.</span>
Answer:
14.2857% decrease
≈ 14.3% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
nearest tenths : 14.3%
nearest hundredths : 14.29%
nearest thousandths : 14.286%
I hope my answer is correct, I provided more options because I wasn't sure what nearest percent wanted.
Hope this helps!
