ars, is equal to 50." Javier writes the equation (10 + two-thirds) a = 50, where a is the tree's age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Answer:

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.

Correct equation

Sum = addition (+)

two-thirds = 2/3

The tree's age = a

10 + 2/3a = 50

2/3a = 50 - 10

2/3a = 40

a = 40 ÷ 2/3

= 40 × 3/2

= 60

a = 60 years

Javier writes the equation

(10 + two-thirds) a = 50

(10 + 2/3)a = 50

(30+2/3)a = 50

32/3a = 50

a = 50 ÷ 32/3

= 50 × 3/32

= 150/32

a = 150/32

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

A store has a sale with 10% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an addit
sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

We are told that the store offers off 10% of sales, this means that the store is offsetting the price down by 10% hence a price reduction.

Moreso, <em>a coupon is a voucher entitling the holder to a discount off a particular product</em>. the coupon is 40%, hence this is equal to a discount, that is price reduction by 40%.

Step two:

<em>Say the price of an item is $100, a coupon if 40% will entitle the holder to only pay $60, that is</em>

=40/100*100

=0.4*100

=$40 off

= 100-40

=$60

<u>The total percent of reduction 10+40= 50%</u>

<u>This is equal to a discount on the sales price</u>

Find the vertex: -4x² + 16x - 7​
guapka [62]

Find the vertex: -4x^2 + 16x - 7​

Vertex = ( x, f(x)).

x = -b/2a

x = -16/2(-4)

x = -16/-8

x = 2

f(x) = -4x^2 + 16x - 7

Let x = 2

f(2) = -4(2)^2 + 16(2) - 7

f(2) = -4(4) + 32 - 7

f(2) = -16 + 32 - 7

f(2) = 16 - 7

f(2) = 9

Vertex = (2, 9)
