Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?
It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.
It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.
It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.
It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

Answer:

Option B is correct

It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level.

__________________________________________________________

Given the equation as:

Using distributive property,

Combine like terms;

Subtract 40 from both sides we have;

Divide both sides by -8 we have;

h = 14 hours

__________________________________________________________

Therefore, the statement is true about Pieter’s solution is, It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

SIMPLE! 30 POINTS AND I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Serhud [2]
SOLUTION:

To begin with, let's establish the problem as the following:

5 + 7

An effective method to solve this problem would be to convert it into a visual representation in order to obtain a better understanding.

As attached in the diagram above, I have demonstrated the problem visually. The five red circles / dots represent the five in the problem whilst the 7 circles / dots represent the 7 in the problem. Now we must simply count each of the circles / dots to obtain the total number which would be our final answer.

We can also simply use our fingers on our hands to solve the problem by counting 5 on our fingers and then adding 7 or vice versa to obtain the final answer.

FINAL ANSWER:

Hence, through either of these two methods, we obtain the final answer to the problem as follows:

5 + 7 = 12

Hope this helps! :)
