Charlie solved an equation, as shown below:

1 answer:

6 0

Part A: Charlie's answer is incorrect
In step 2 of Charlie's answer he subtracted 5 from each side. Since 5x is multiplication, he must DIVIDE each side by 5 to get x by itself. The problem should have worked out like this...

Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30/5
Step 3: x = 6

Part B: There is only 1 solution for this problem.

80 people attended a meeting. There was x men and x women and the rest were children. How many children attended the meeting

sesenic [268]

Answer:

80 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of people = 80 people

Total men = x men

Total women = x women

Let the number of childeren be c

x + x + c = 80

Make c the subject of the formula

c = 80 - (x+x)

c = 80 - 2x

Hence the total children attending is 80 - 2x

Evaluate the expression below when x = -2. x2 − 8 x + 6

IRISSAK [1]

First, substitute -2 into each equation where there is an x:
(-2)2 -8
(-2) +6

Then multiply the -2 and the 2 in the first equation and add -2 and 6 in the second:
-4 -8
4

Lastly, subtract -4 and 8:
-12
4

Now you have you answers -12 and 4!

What does 45 - 4x equal

xxTIMURxx [149]

Let y = 0 to find the x-intercept(s).

0 = 45 − 4x

*Then subtract 45 from both sides*
-45 = -4x

*Next, DIVIDE both sides by -4*

-45
—— = x
-4

*NEXT, realize that TWO NEGATIVES MAKE A POSITIVE *

45. 4
——— = x {FLIP} x=——-
4. 45.

y-Intercept

Let x = 0 to find the y-intercept(s).

y = 45 −4(0)

NEXT, SIMPLIFY:

y=45
