Answer: Upper left corner
Explanation:
The error happens in step 2. Notice that x is <u>not</u> part of the second term 16, so there's no way to factor x from it unless you want a fraction to result.
The second step should be 8(4x-2)
Another way to factor is to say 16(2x-1)
Answer:
a. 10
b. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
For these problems, since we are given the x, we plug it into the expression and solve.
a.
3(4)-2 [multiply]
12-2 [subtract]
10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b.
5(-2)+6 [multiply]
-10+6 [subtract]
-4
Answer:
Well you do what fraction says, 8 divided by 12 to get .6 repeating
The cost of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the cost of a student ticket is $12.
How did I get this?
We know that 6 citizen tickets and 7 student stickers sold for $174 the first day. And 10 citizen tickets and 14 student tickets sold for $318 the second day.
1. create two equations out of this: C= citizen cost per ticket and S = student cost per ticket.
6C + 7S = $174
10C + 14S = $318
2. Use process of elimination. Multiply the first equation by 2 because we want two variables to cancel out.
-12C - 14S = -$348
10C + 14S = $318
Combine like terms.
-2C = $30
Divide by -2 on both sides. The left side cancels out.
C = $30/-2
C = -$15 (In this case the negative doesn't matter)
C = $15 (cost of senior citizen ticket)
Plug the value of C into any of the two equations so we can get the value of S.
6($15) + 7S = $174
Distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.
$90 + 7S = $174
Subtract both sides by $90 and the left side will cancel out.
7S = $84
Divide both sides by 7.
S = $12
Student ticket: $12
Senior citizen ticket: $15
Attached solution and work.
