Answer:
Part 1
The mistake is Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y
Part 2
The correct answer is
Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·y
(P - 2·x)/2 = y
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1
The student's steps are;
Step 1; P = 2·x + 2·y
Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y
Step 3: P + 2·x/2 = y
The mistake in the work is in Step 2
The mistake is moving 2·x to the left hand side of the equation by adding 2·x to <em>P </em>to get; P + 2·x = 2·y
Part 2
To correct method to move 2·x to the left hand side of the equation, leaving only 2·y on the right hand side is to subtract 2·x from both sides of the equation as follows;
Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·x + 2·y - 2·x = 2·x - 2·x + 2·y = 2·y
∴ P - 2·x = 2·y
(P - 2·x)/2 = y
y = (P - 2·x)/2
Answer:
Personal items=15
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Total number of artifacts = 72.
We are told that 2/3 of total artifacts are shards of pottery.

We are also told that 1/8 of total artifacts are tools.
Now we will find out number of personal items by subtracting combined number of shards of pottery and tools from total number of artifacts.


Therefore, there are 15 personal items.
Answer:
25/4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 +5x
To complete the square we take (b/2)^2
b =5
(5/2)^2
25/4
