Answer:

10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50 is the CORRECT equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.” Javier writes the equation { 10 + 2/3} where a is the tree’s age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Now here:

a:  The tree’s age in years.

Also,  “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.”

⇒ 10 +  two-thirds of that tree’s age  = 50

\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50

But in the equation written by Javier, the the third fraction is NOT MULTIPLIED by the age of the tree a in Years.

So, the written equation by Javier is Incorrect.

Now, solving the written correct equation for the value of a, we get:

\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50\\\implies  (\frac{2}{3}) a = 40\\\implies a = 40 \times  (\frac{3}{2})  = 60\\\implies a  = 60

Hence the correct  age of the tree = 60 years
