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

Hi, Please i need help with this question. Workings would be deeply appreciated .
kupik [55]

Answer:

k = ⅕  

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b, where

m = the slope and

b = the y-intercept

Data:

(3,4)     = a point on the line

(3k,0)   = x-intercept

(0,-5k) = y-intercept

Calculations:

1. Slope

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃

This makes the equation

y = ⁵/₃x - 5k

2. k

Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)

4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k

4 = 5 - 5k

-1 = -5k

k = ⅕

The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively .
