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.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

None of the option is true

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given condition , the length of rectangle = s+6 and width = \frac{s}{2}

Hence the Area will be A=\frac{s}{2}*(s+6)

This area is the same as that of Square, whose area was s^{2}

Hence the Area will be

s^2=\frac{s}{2}*(s+6)

2s^2=s(s+6)\\2s^2=s^2+6s\\s^2-6s=0\\s(s-6)=0\\

s=0 , s=6

sineoko [7]

Answer:

  62 1/2 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area is the area of the central square plus the area of the four triangles.

The area formula for a square is ...

  A = s² . . . . for side length s

The area formula for a triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh . . . . for base b and height h

Here, we have a square with side lengths of 5 m, and triangles with a base of 5 m and a height of 3 3/4 m. Then the area of the square plus the area of 4 triangles is ...

  A = (5 ft)² + 4×(1/2)(5 ft)(3 3/4 ft) = 25 ft² +37 1/2 ft²

  A = 62 1/2 ft²

62.5 square feet of cardboard will be needed to build the display.
