Given that,

Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only playing $0.75 games.

Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining.

The attached figure shows the equation that Jorge had :

8.25-0.25x=9.75-0.75x

Subtract 9.75 to both sides

8.25-0.25x-9.75=9.75-0.75x-9.75

-1.5-0.25x=-0.75x

Add 0.25x to the both sides,

-1.5-0.25x+0.25x=-0.75x+0.25x

-1.5=-0.5x

⇒ x = 3

Jorge is incorrect at step 2 where he taken -0.25x to the RHS such that -0.75x+0.25x, he get 0.5x instead of (-0.5x). Hence, From Step 1 to Step 2, Jorge did not add 0.25x correctly to both sides.

How will the solution of the system y > 2x + and y < 2x + change if the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed t
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The System of inequality is ,

1. y > 2 x + p

2. y < 2 x + p

Suppose we assign some values to p and q and draw its graph

And, then the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed

3. y < 2 x + p

4. y > 2 x + p

And , then draw it's graph

it has been found that, the solution set of both the inequality remains same.That is there is no point or set of points , which satisfy both the system of inequality.

The system has no solution.

If the volume of a cube-shaped compost bin is 27 cubic feet. What is the edge length of the compost bin?
Alex787 [66]

Cube = all sides same length, which equals A*A*A = 27 Which is the same as A^3 = 27 Therefore,the cube root is +/-3, but as it is length, must be positive, so is +3
