situation, where b is Maureen’s balance, in dollars, before the check was cashed. Maureen attempted to solve the equation using the steps below.
b+(-60)=-14
-60 -60
b =-74

What error, if any, did Maureen make?
Maureen’s work is correct, and her original balance was -$74.
Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.
Maureen should have added 14 to both sides.

we are given

b+(-60)=-14

Since, we have to solve for b

b-60=-14

so, we will isolate b ony one side

so, we will add 60 on both sides

b-60+60=-14+60

b=-14+60

b=46

so,

Answer:

Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.

Answer:

Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving this equation, Maureen wants to cancel the -60 in order to get the variable, b, isolated.

To cancel a -60, we would add 60; this is because positive and negative numbers are opposites, and we use opposites to cancel.

Therefore she should have added 60 to each side.

PLZZZZ HELP WITH THIS QUESTION
Sauron [17]

A. 1/5 fish

We know that 2/5 of Mike's fish are clownfish. Therefore, 3/5 are not clownish as 5/5 – 2/5 = 3/5. Also, if you look at the model, there are five pieces. If we assume that model represents the whole of Mike's fish and you take away two pieces, you are left with 3/5. So we know that the remaining fish is 3/5

Next, we know that of these 3/5 fish, 1/3 is damselfish, so we need to find 1/3 of 3/5. To do this, we must multiply 1/3 by 3/5 as "of" means multiply in Math.

So: 1/3 • 3/5 = 1 • 3/3 • 5 = 3/15       3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5    3/15 = 1/5

1/5 of Mike's fish are damsel fish


B. 2/5 fish

Now we know that 1/5 of Mike's fish is damselfish, and 2/5 is clownfish. To find the fraction of his fish that are neither, therefore, we must subtract their sum from the whole.

First, we add 1/5 and 2/5 together. Adding the numerators, 1 and 2, we get 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5

Next, we subtract: 5/5 – 3/5 = 2/5, so 2/5 of his fish are neither clownfish or damselfish

And if you look at the model again, you can see that if you cross out 1 piece for the damselfish, and 2 pieces for the clownfish, you are left with 2/5
