Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way: Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x Square root of negative 2x plu

s 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 − 1 Square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 (Square root of negative 2 x)2 = (x − 4)2 −2x = x2 − 8x + 16 −2x + 2x = x2 + 8x + 16 + 2x 0 = x2 + 10x + 16 0 = (x + 2)(x + 8) x + 2 = 0 x + 8 = 0 x + 2 − 2 = 0 − 2 x + 8 − 8 = 0 − 8 x = −2 x = −8 Both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation. What error did Eloise make?

Here I copy the steps and indicate where the error is.

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x=> <span>this is the starting equation
</span>

√[ - 2x + 1] - 3 = x

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 in this step she added 3 to each side, which is fine

<span> Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 <span>she made the addtions => fine</span></span>

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 – 1 due to <span>plus 1 in inside the square root, this step will not help</span>

<span> Square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 <span>wrong! she cannot simplify - 1 that is out of the square root with +1 that is inside the square root
</span></span>


<span>Then, from here on all is wrong, but she made other additional mistakes.</span>

(Square root of negative 2 x)2 = (x − 4)2 −2x <span> the right side should be (x+2)^2 which is x^2 + 4x +4 not (x-4)^2 - 2x</span>

Later she made a mistake changing the sign of -8x to +8x


Those are the mistakes. Finally, the global error is that she should verify whether the found values satisfied the original equation.

The time, t, required to drive to a certain distance varies inversely with the speed, r. if it takes 12 hours to drive the dista
kap26 [50]
T = k/R  where k is the constant of variation, T=time and R=speed.
Plug in the given values:-
12 = k/60
k = 12*60 = 720
So the equation of variation is T = 720/R

At 85 mph we have

T = 720 / 85 =  8.47 hours (answer)

Please answer !!!!!!!! Will mark brainliest whoever answers correctly !!!!!!!!
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

g(q) = 5/8q

Step-by-step explanation:

-7q + 12r = 3q - 4r

Add 4r to each side

-7q + 12r+4r  = 3q - 4r+4r

-7q +16r = 3q

Add 7q to each side

-7q+7q +16r = 3q+7q

16r = 10q

Divide each side by 16

16r/16 = 10q/16

r = 5q/8

g(q) = 5/8q

Help pls reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Ivan

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

j=6

k=4

Rewrite the equation. So let's do that-

2.5(6*4)/6

6 and the other 6 cancel out so we are left with 2.5*4

Which is then equal to 10.

By the way, whenever you see the same number in a division problem on the numerator and denominator, just cancel them out because if you still did 2.5(6*4)/6, you would still get 10. I was just simplifying it!
