Anna and Belle are asked to solve −2x − 15 = 6x + 9. Identify where one of them made an error. Anna Belle −2x − 15 = 6x + 9 −2x

− 15 −6x = 6x + 9 −6x −8x − 15 = 9 −8x − 15 + 15 = 9 + 15 −8x = 24 Negative 8x over negative 8 equals 24 over negative 8 x = −3 −2x − 15 = 6x + 9 −2x − 15 + 2x = 6x + 9 + 2x −15 = 8x + 9 −15 + 9 = 8x + 9 + 9 −6 = 8x Negative 6x over 8 equals 8x over 8 Negative two-thirds

Answer:

<h2>Belle is wrong.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

-2x-15=6x+9

The steps Anna did are

-2x-15=6x+9\\-2x-15-6x=6x+9-6x\\-8x-15=9\\-8x-15+15=9+15\\-8x=24\\\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{24}{-8}  \\x=-3

If you look carefuly, you would notice that Anna didn't make any mistakes, her steps and result is correct.

Belle steps are

-2x-15=6x+9\\-2x-15+2x=6x+9+2x\\-15=8x+9\\-15+9=8x+9+9

Notice that this step is wrong, because she's not adding -9 to eliminate that term.

-6=8x, this step is also wrong, because 9 + 9 = 18.

Therefore, Belle is wrong.

Belle got it wrong when she added the 9 because it was already positive, meaning she would’ve subtracted it.

Help me it's algebra and dont tell me to look at the lesson :)

Let b be the number of blue beads and g the number of green beads that Giovanni can use for a belt.

He's supposed to use a total of between 70 and 74 beads, so

70 ≤ b + g ≤ 74

The ratio of green beads to blue beads is g/b, and this ratio has to be between 1.4 and 1.6, so

1.4 ≤ g/b ≤ 1.6

For completeness, Giovanni must use at least one of either bead color, so it sort of goes without saying that this system must also include the conditions

b ≥ 0

g ≥ 0

(These conditions "go without saying" because they are implied by the others. g/b is a positive number, so either both b and g are positive, or they're both negative. But they must both be positive, because otherwise b + g would be negative. I would argue for including them, though.)

Professor Nwamabi is conducting an experiment in which he is examining the effects of air conditioning on sleep habits. 100 part
miskamm [114]

In the research of Professor Nwamabi  the use of air conditioning represents independent variable.

Given 100 participants are randomly selected in a research in which effects of air conditioning on sleep habits is studied.

Dependent variable is the variable whose value is dependent on the other variables like increase in profit and production.

Independent variable is the variable whose value is not dependent on the other variables.

In the research of Professor Nwamabi in which he is examining the effects of air conditioning on sleep habits, use of air conditioning represents independent variable. In this study the effect is on sleep habits means the value of sleep habits will change due to use of air conditioning. It shows that the use of air conditioning is not depending on other variable in the research.

Hence the use of air conditioning represents the independent variable.

Sandra is 4 feet tall. Pablo is 10% taller than Sandra, and Michaela is 8% taller than Pablo.
RoseWind [281]
Height of Sandra that is already mentioned in the question is = 4 feet
Percentage by which Pablo is taller than Sandra = 10%
Height by which Pablo is greater than Sandra = (10/100) * 4
                                                                         = (4/10)
                                                                         = 0.4 feet
Then height of Pablo is = 4 + 0.4
                                     = 4.4 feet
Now we can find the height of Michaela as she is 8% taller than Pablo.
Percent by which Michaela is taller than Pablo = 8%
Height by which Michaela is greater than Pablo = (8/100) * 4.4
                                                                            = (2 * 4.4)/25
                                                                            = 0.35 feet
Then the height of Michaela = (4.4 + 0.35) feet
                                             = 4.75 feet
So height of Michaela is 4.75 feet. This is the way this problem has to be solved.
