Procedure to solve the equation in one variable

-4 x-25= 8 x+15

Taking variable on one side and constant on another side of equation

- 4 x - 8 x = 15 + 25(When one quantity goes on other side of equation , the sign preceding it changes)

- 12 x= 40

x = \frac{40}{-12}=\frac{-10}{3}

By looking at the solution described above , you can find yourself who has done the mistake between Becky and Tommy and  can also identify the error and rectify it.

I feel sorry for Becky and Tommy. The one who didn't come up with x=-10/3 made an error.

first bring 8x to the left and -25 to the right and simplify:

-4x-8x = 25+15 => -12x = 40

x = -40/12 = -10/3

A display of seed packets contains 24 zucchini seed packets and 28 other seed packets. What is the probability that a randomly s
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The probability is 6/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of zucchini seed packets = 24

Number of other seed packets = 28

Total number of packets = 24 + 28 = 52

Probability is given by

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(s)}\\\\n(E)=24,n(s)=52\\P(E)=\frac{24}{52}\\\\P(E)=\frac{6}{13}

Hence, the required probability is 6/13

An appliance is for sale at either (a) P15,999 cash or (b) on terms, P1,499 each month for the next 12 months.  Money is 9% comp
frutty [35]

Answer:

Cash price

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Interest rate per month (r) = (9% ÷ 12) = 0.75%

Now Present value of the monthly payment is

= PMT × {[(1 + rate of interest)^number of years - 1] ÷ rate of interest}

= 1,499 × {[(1 + 0.75%)^12 - 1] ÷ 0.75%}

= 18,748.89

And the cash price is 15,999

So, the cash price would be lower

What is wrong with the following proof that for every integer n, there is an integer k such that n < k < n + 2? Suppose n
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

c)The proof writer mentally assumed the conclusion. He wrote "suppose n is an arbitrary integer", but was really thinking "suppose n is an arbitrary integer, and suppose that for this n, there exists an integer k that satisfies n < k < n+2." Under those assumptions, it follows indeed that k must be n + 1, which justifies the word "therefore": but of course assuming the conclusion destroyed the validity of the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we claim something as a hypothesis we can only conclude with therefore at the end of the proof. so assuming the conclusion nulify the proof from the beginning
