Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: -5x/5=24/5 Step 4: x =24/5 Select one: a. Step 1: He should have subtracted 16 from each side. b. Step 1: He should have divided both sides by −5. c. Step 3: He should have multiplied both sides by −5. d. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by −5.

<span>−5x − 16 = 8                   Proof=Given
</span><span>−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16   Proof=Addition Property of Equality
</span>−5x = 24                         Proof=Addition Property of Equality
<span>-5x/5=24/5                      This is where we find his fault. You have to divide by whatever the number that alters the variable is. In this case, that's -5. The answer is therefore D. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by 5.

The axis of the sphere below is 16 units in length. What is the surface area of the sphere?.
Nataly_w [17]
There are enough information's already given in the question. Based on those information's that answer can be easily deduced.
Radius of the sphere = 8 units
Then
Surface area of the sphere = 4 *pi * r^2
                                            = 4 * pi * (8)^2
                                            = 4 * pi * 64
                                            = 256pi
I hope that this answer has come to your help.

explain the two different answers you can get when solving an equation and the variable is dropped out.
Alexandra [31]
To give a simple answer

if you consider the equation to be that of a line.
then if the variables cancel out, then the two lines will have the same slope.

two lines with the same slope fall under two categories. Parallel lines, and lines on top of each other

parallel lines have no solutions since the lines never cross each other
lines on top of each other have infinitely many solutions  since they "cross" everywhere on the line
