A factory manufactures pipes that should have an ideal length, represented by 0 on the number line. The quality manager at the f

actory measures two random pipes, pipe X and pipe Y, from each batch daily. In the first batch today, pipe X had a length that was 0.2 cm less than the ideal length. The difference between the lengths of pipe X and pipe Y was 0.6 cm. Plot all the points on the number line that could represent the length of pipe Y compared to the ideal length.

Answer:

The value of Y is either 0.8 cm less than the ideal length or 0.4 cm more than the ideal length.

Y = - 0.8 cm or Y = +0.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ideal length = 0

X = - 0.2 cm

|X - Y| = 0.6 cm

X - Y = 0.6 or X - Y = - 0.6

X - Y = 0.6

-0.2 - Y = 0.6

-Y = 0.6 + 0.2

Y = -0.8 cm

Or

X - Y = -0.6

-0.2 - Y = -0.6

-Y = -0.6+0.2 = -0.4

Y = 0.4 cm

The plot of the possible points on the number line that Y could be, is attached to this solution.

It is evident that the value of Y is either 0.8 cm less than the ideal length or 0.4 cm more than the ideal length.

Hope this Helps!!!

The following is a student’s work when solving for y. There is a mistake in the work. What is the mistake? What is the correct a
laila [671]

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
