The error Giovanna made in her calculation is multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

<h3>Fraction</h3>

Her calculation:

  • 7 (2 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 5/8)

  • 7 (2 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 + 5/8)

  • 14 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 + 5/8

  • 14 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 5/8

Her error was multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

Correct calculation:

7(2 + 5/8)

= 14 + 35/8

= (112+35) /8

= 147/8

= 18 3/8

40 tickets were sold for a concert, some at 75 cents and the rest at $1.25. if the total raised was $42, how many had the cheape
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 = 125 cents.

$42 = 4200 cents

Tickets sold at 75 cents = x

Tickets sold at 125 cents = y

x + y = 40

75x + 125y = 4200

Multiply the first equation by 75

75x + 75y = 3000

75x + 125y = 4200

Subtract the the second equation from the first.

75x + 75y = 3000

- 75x + 125y = 4200

-------------------------------

0 - 150y = - 1200

Divide both sides by - 150

-150y/-150 = -1200/-150

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 into the first equation

x + y = 42

x + 8 = 42

x = 42 - 8

x = 34

34 tickets were sold for 75 cents

8 tickets were sold for $1.25

6) Find the measure of ∠G.
topjm [15]

Answer:

m<G = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x first

7x + 1 + 6x - 6 + 55 = 180

Combine like terms:

13x + 50 = 180

      - 50    - 50

13x = 130

/13     /13

x = 10

Then apply to problem

7 (10) + 1

70 + 1

= 71

Show all steps to find the product of -3x^3 + 2x - 4 and x^3 + x - 2.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

  -3x^6 -x^4 +2x^3 -8x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property 4 times.

  (-3x^3 + 2x - 4)×(x^3 + x - 2)

  = -3x^3(x^3 +x -2) +2x(x^3 +x -2) -4(x^3 +x -2) . . . . once

  = -3x^6 -3x^4 +6x^3 +2x^4 +2x^2 -4x -4x^3 -4x +8 . . . . 3 more times

  = -3x^6 +x^4(-3+2) +x^3(6 -4) +2x^2 +x(-4 -4) +8 . . . . group like terms

  = -3x^6 -x^4 +2x^3 -8x +8
