Given:
The equation is

To find:
The error and correct solution.
Solution:
We have,

Add 16 on both sides.


Divide both sides by -5.


Third step is incorrect because he divide the equation by 5 instead of -5.
Therefore, the correct solution is
.
First, u have to know x is either equivalent, smaller or greater than any specific number.
x - 5 < 5
x < 5 + 5
x < 10
Answer:
p - 7 = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
"Less than" might make you think of the < sign, but that's a mistake. The expression 7 < p = 42 makes no sense! In fact, that would say, "7 <u>is</u> less than p and p = 42."
To find 7 less than a number, you subtract 7 from the number. You start with the number, then subtract 7.
p - 7 = 42
I did the problem myself and my teacher always said thatif you don't get the exact answer then round to the closest one. The answer that i got was 31,808.6, the closest one to that would be letter C.
