Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3 - 2x = -1.5x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
- Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
- Rewrite: x = 6
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in<em> x</em>: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
- Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
- Subtract: -9 = -9
Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.
∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
Answer:
3x−4y=9 −3x+2y=9
Add these equations to eliminate x: −2y=18
Then solve−2y=18
for y: −2y=18 −2y −2 = 18 −2 (Divide both sides by -2)
y=−9
Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.
Write down an original equation: 3x−4y=9
Substitute−9for y in 3x−4y=9: 3x−(4)(−9)=9
3x+36=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)
3x+36+−36=9+−36(Add -36 to both sides)
3x=−27 3x 3 = −27 3 (Divide both sides by 3) x=−9
Answer: x=−9 and y=−9

Answer:
She made a mistake in Step 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 through 6 are correct. Only from Step 6 to Step 7 the problem comes in: both sides of the equation are multiplied by x, however the x on the left side, by error, becomes 1. The correct state in Step 7 should look like this:
Answer:
The $1 belongs to the cash box
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for complete question
Required
Determine if the $1 belongs to the cash box or not
Represent singles with s and couples with c.
From the attachment, we have:
--- total attendance
--- ticket sold
Solve for s and c.
Make s the subject in (1)
Substitute 47 - c for s in (2)
Open bracket
This means that the total individual which makes up the couples are 35. This is not possible because couples are in 2's and the total should be an even number.
<em>So, we can conclude that the $1 belongs to the cash box</em>
