Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7
No,because a multiplcative inverse is when your changing a division or multiplcation sign!

Answer:
Sales tax
Step-by-step explanation:
You might have like 3% sales tax which is 3 percent of the original price added back onto it.
Sales tax is a tax that is put onto wanted and gourmet things, so chocolate isn't a needed item in life, so you have sales tax on it. On something like bread or meat, there might not be sales tax since you need food to survive. If something cost $100, and there is 3% sales tax, you will pay 103 dollars since 0.03 of 100 is 3.
