Find the mistake and correct it
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

i believe its the second part thats wrong  

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Distribute

−5(−2+10)=20

10−50=20

2 Add 50 to both sides of the equation

10−50=20

10−50+50=20+50

3 Simplify

Add the numbers

10x−50+50=20+50

10=20+50

Add the numbers

10x =20 + 50

10x=10

4 Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

10x = 70

10x   70

---- = ----

10      10

5 Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

10x   70

---- = ----

10      10

      70

x  = ----

       10

   

        70

x  = ----

       10  

x=7

Solution

= 7

The product of two rational number is 7. If one of the number
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

7/12 OR 0.58 (2.d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means that the two rational numbers are being multiplied to get 7.

The question also tells us that one of them is 12. Therefore we can write an equation to express this information where we represent the unknown rational number using the letter 'r':

r x 12 = 7

Rearrange to find r:

r x 12 / 12 = 7 /12

r = 7/12 = 0.5833....

= 0.58 (2.d.p)

Hope this helped!
