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: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five Step 1: He should have subtracted 16 from each side. Step 1: He should have divided both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have multiplied both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by −5.

The correct answer is : Step 3: He should have divided both sides by -5 because in order to isolate x from -5x, you must divide its coefficient, which is -5. Dividing 5 from both sides leaves -1x or -x.

Answer:
a.) 33.51
b.) 8.38

The formula for finding the area of a sector is (angle)/360 • area of circle, so A is 33.51
As for the length of the sector, we need the circumference of the circle (which is 50.27). Then, we can do 360/60 to get 6. Now, we divide 50.27/6 to get the length of the sector. So, B is 8.38.

Ian hung a square mirror in his locker that measures 6 inches on each side. What is the perimeter of the mirror?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

All sides of a square are equal in length and there are four sides to a square so the equation would be 6*4 or 6+6+6+6, which equals 24.
