Arjun solved the equation 7·m=56 His work is shown. What error did Arjun make?

He multiplied rather than dividing.

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}7 \ \textgreater \ \frac{7m}{7}=\frac{56}{7} \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ m = 8$

Hope this helps!

Answer: Multiplyng both sides by 7 instead of dividing both sides by 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, by analyzing Arjun’s work, the mistake that he made was multiplying by 7 both sides instead of dividing both sides by seven.

The correct way is:

7m = 56

Dividing each both sides by 7

7m/7 = 56/7

m = 8

The real value of m is 8, not 392.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Imagine a new pasture with grass growing on it. Every day after the seeds have germinated, the number of blades of grass in the

Arisa [49]

Answer:

It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number of blades of grass is triple every day

- Consider that there are x blades in the first day

∵ The number of blades of grass is triple every day

∴ The next day the number of blades of grass will be 3x

∴ The formula to find the number of blades of grass after d days is

$x(3)^{d}$

- After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass

∵ d = 18

∴ The number of blades of grass = $x(3)^{18}$

- We need to know the the number of days that took for the pasture

to be one-third covered in grass

∵ The number of blades of grass for 1/3 covered = $(\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}$

∴ $(\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}$

- Remember $\frac{1}{3}=3^{-1}$

∴ $3^{-1}x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}$

- Remember we add the power of the same bases when we

multiply them

∴ $x(3)^{-1+18}=x(3)^{d}$ ⇒ divide both sides by x

∴ $(3)^{17}=(3)^{d}$

- Remember if the two bases equal in the equation, then their

powers are equal

∴ d = 17

* It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Find the y intercept of (-2,5) and (3,25)

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0, 13).

Step-by-step explanation:

First finf the equation of the line:

The slope = (25- 5) / (3 - -2)

= 20/5

= 4

So its equation is

y - 5 = 4(x + 2)

y = 4x + 13

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0

so y-intercept = 4(0) + 13.

It's (0, 13).

There are 6 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex of an octagon, true or false.

FinnZ [79.3K]

It's False; an octagon has 8 vertices. When you remove the starting vertex and the two adjacent vertices we're left with 5 possible diagonals

URGENT WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Show your work and solve for x and y. 3x + y = 8 2x + 4y = 12

mars1129 [50]

3x+y=8--(1)

2x+4y=12

x+2y=6--(2)

(1)×1 and (2)×3

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x+y=8$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x+6y=18$

Subtract both

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -5y=-10$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{-10}{-5}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=2$

Put the value in eq(2)

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+2(2)=6$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+4=6$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=6-4=2$
