The work of a student trying to solve the equation 4(2x – 1) = 11 + 3x + 5 is shown below: Step 1: 4(2x – 1) = 11 + 3x + 5 Step

2: 8x – 4 = 16 + 3x Step 3: 8x + 3x = 16 – 4 Step 4: 11x = 24 Step 5: x = 2.18 In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?

4(2x - 1) = 11 + 3x + 5

Step 1:  4(2x - 1) = 11 + 3x + 5

Well, this technically isn't really a step, but it's not incorrect.

Step 2 : 8x - 4 = 16 + 3x

This is correct, because we simplified, as well as added like terms together correctly.

Step 3 : 8x + 3x = 16 - 4

This is INCORRECT because when moving variables and integers from either side of the equal sign, you must change the sign! If it was a positive, then you must turn it into a negative, and if it's a negative, you must change it into a positive!

Our correct step 3 would be : 8x - 3x = 16 + 4

~Hope I helped!~

In a system of linear equations in two​ variables, if the graphs of the equations are the​ same, the equations are (blank) equat
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a consistent system has infinite solutions, then the graphs of the equations are exactly the same. In other words, these equations are called dependent equations.

All points of dependent equations share the same slope and same y-intercept.

For example,

6x-2y = 18

9x-3y=27

represent the dependent equations.

Writing both equations in slope-intercept form

y=mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Now

6x-2y=18

2y = 6x-18

Divide both sides by 2

y = 3x - 9

Thus, the slope = 3 and y-intercept = b = -9

now

9x-3y=27

3y = 9x-27

Divide both sides by 3

y = 3x - 9

Thus, the slope = 3 and y-intercept = b = -9

Therefore, both equations have the same slope and y-intercept. Their graphs are the same. Hence, they are called dependent equations.

The time between calls made to Amazon's customer service is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes (taken between e
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes is 0.2442.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = time between calls made to Amazon's customer service.

The average time between calls is, <em>β</em> = 10 minutes.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with parameter \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\   x>0}} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

Compute the probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes as follows:

P(3

Thus, the probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes is 0.2442.
