Negative divided by negative makes a positive
Answer: Step E
Step-by-step explanation:
The error is in the last step. In Step D, we see that we're supposed to subtract the second part from the first part. We also see we have the terms 2x-8 in the numerator on the right. Since we're subtracting, the expression should actually be -2x +8. 3 -2x +8 should be -2x +11 which is not the numerator in Step E so the last step is wrong.
The price decreased by 40%.
<span>There are 4 long rows and 5 short rows in the theater. x represents the number of chairs in each long row and y represents the number of chairs in each short row.
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows= 4x
Total number of chairs in 5 short rows = 5y
Total number of chairs in the theater on a normal day = 4x + 5y
When 2 chairs are added to each long row, the number of chairs will change to (x+2).
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows will be = 4(x+2)
When 3 chairs are added to each short row, the number of chairs will change to (y+3)
So, total number of chairs in 5 short rows will be = 5(y+3)
Thus, total number of chairs in the theater in rush day = 4(x+2) + 5(y+3)
= 4x + 8 + 5y + 15
= 4x + 5y + 23
Thus we can say the number of chairs increase by 23 as compared to a normal day.
