Answer:

Bella made an error in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

-3x-30=5x+18

Rearranging the like terms, we get

⇒-3x-5x=18+30

⇒-8x=48

⇒x=-6

Thus, the correct value of x is -6.

Now, Bella made a mistake in her solution as:

-3x-30=5x+18

⇒−3x − 30 − 3x = 5x + 18 − 3x  (she should add 3x on both sides rather than subtracting)

⇒− 30 = 2x + 18

⇒−30 − 18 = 2x + 18 −18

⇒− 48= 2x

⇒x=-24

For the second,
In the first step, instead of adding 3x for both sides, they subtract 3x instead.

The exam had 60 questions.Phelix got 85% correct. How many questions did he answer correctly?
hichkok12 [17]
Y is 85% of 60

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y
Y = P% * X
Y = 85% * 60

Converting percent to decimal:
p = 85%/100 = 0.85

Y = 0.85 * 60 
Y = 51

What are the y and x intercepts of the equation y=3x-4
weqwewe [10]

The y intercept of the equation is -4.  We know this because the y intercept of a linear equation always appears there in the formula.


To find the x intercept, plug 0 in for y and solve for x.

0=3x-4

<em>*Add 4 to both sides*</em>

4=3x

<em>*Divide both sides by 3*</em>

4/3=x


The x intercept of the equation is 4/3.


Hope this helps!!
