Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation.

1 answer:

6 0

The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.

<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>

The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

1. Apply the Distributive property:

5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73

2. Add similar terms together:

12x + 13 = 73

3. Combine similar terms:

12x = 73 - 13

4. Add similar terms

12x = 60

5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12

x = 60 / 12

x = 5

In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :

5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73

5(2) + 7(9) = 73

10 + 63 = 73

73 = 73

You flip 3 coins. Is the probability of obtaining 2 heads and 1 tail in any order the same as the probability of obtaining a hea

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the probability of obtaining 2 heads and 1 tail in any order is higher than the probability of obtaining a head, than a head then a tail

Step-by-step explanation:

since the probability (p) of obtaining 2 head and 1 tail in any order is

P1 = p of obtaining ( H , H ,T) + p of obtaining ( H , T ,H ) + p of obtaining ( T , H ,H ) = 3*p of obtaining ( H , T ,H)

assuming a fair coin then p heads = p tails = 0.5

thus since each flip is independent from the others

p( H , H ,T)=p( H , T ,H )= p( T , H ,H )= P=0.5*0.5*0.5= 1/8

thus P1 =3*1/8=3/8

while the probability of obtaining a head, than a head then a tail is

P2= p of obtaining ( H , T ,H)= 1/8

then P1=3/8 >P2=1(8

therefore the probability of obtaining 2 heads and 1 tail in any order is higher than the probability of obtaining a head, than a head then a tail

HELP ASAP! The number of entertainment websites in 1995 wass 54. By 2004 there were 793 entertainment website..

AleksandrR [38]

<h3>Answer: Choice A. 82 websites per year</h3>

=============================================================

How I got that answer:

We have gone from 54 websites to 793 websites. This is a change of 793-54 = 739 new websites. This is over a timespan of 2004-1995 = 9 years.

Since we have 739 new websites over the course of 9 years, this means the rate of change is 739/9 = 82.1111... where the '1's go on forever. Rounding to the nearest whole number gets us roughly 82 websites a year.

----------

You could use the slope formula to get the job done. This is because the slope represents the rise over run

slope = rise/run

The rise is how much the number of websites have gone up or down. The run is the amount of time that has passed by. So slope = rise/run = 739/9 = 82.111...

In a more written out way, the steps would be

slope = rise/run

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

slope = (793 - 54)/(2004 - 1995)

slope = 739/9

slope = 82.111....

Urgent. Will give brainliest and 20 points!!

insens350 [35]

If you begin with the basic equation of a vertical parabola: y-k=a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex, then that equation, when the vertex is (-3,-2), is

y + 2 = a (x + 3)^2. If we solve this for y, we get

y = a(x+3)^2 - 2. Thus, eliminate answers A and D. That leaves B, since B correctly shows (x+3)^2.
