If the question gives you another variable, just switch it out with n
Percent error is calculated using
((Actual - predicted) / actual) * 100
In this case, the actual value of the number of pages he read is 20. The expected value was 23. So simply plug in:
((20 - 23) / 20) * 100 = -15%

Answer:
x = 3
y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:
XP ≅ DN
PS ≅ NF
XS ≅ DF
Given that:
XP = 4y - 3
DN = 57
NF = 51
XS = 17x + 3
DF = 54
Therefore:
XP = DN
4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)
Add 3 to both sides
4y = 57 + 3
4y = 60
Divide both sides by 4
y = 60/4
y = 15
Also,
XS = DF
17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)
Subtract 3 from each side
17x = 54 - 3
17x = 51
Divide both sides by 17
x = 51/17
x = 3
We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:
2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y
In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac
In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:
2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4
In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.
The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:
Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y
I hope this helps!
