Answer:
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.
Correct equation
Sum = addition (+)
two-thirds = 2/3
The tree's age = a
10 + 2/3a = 50
2/3a = 50 - 10
2/3a = 40
a = 40 ÷ 2/3
= 40 × 3/2
= 60
a = 60 years
Javier writes the equation
(10 + two-thirds) a = 50
(10 + 2/3)a = 50
(30+2/3)a = 50
32/3a = 50
a = 50 ÷ 32/3
= 50 × 3/32
= 150/32
a = 150/32
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is y = -7x - 6.
The initial value is found when x = 0.
y = -7(0) - 6
y = 0 - 6
y = -6

Answer:
$12,958
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of the account, principal plus interest, is given by ...
A = P(1 +rt)
The given information tells us ...
12,122 = P(1 + .08×2) = 1.16P
Then the principal amount is ...
12,122/1.16 = 10,450
__
When that same amount is invested using a different rate and time period, it becomes ...
A = 10,450(1 + .09×(2 2/3)) = 10,450×1.24 = 12,958
It will amount to $12,958 in 2 years 8 months at 9%.
