the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6 = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

C because there are 10 cents in a dime, and 5 cents in a nickel
Answer:
0 hundredths. 2 tenths and 8 ones
<span>Stephen and Aaron solved the same equation using two separate methods. Their work is shown in the table below:
Stephen Aaron:
3x - 2 = 5x - 6 3x - 2 = 5x - 6
3x - 2 + 2 = 5x - 6 + 2 3x - 3x - 2 = 5x - 3x - 6
3x = 5x - 4 -2 = 2x - 6
3x - 5x = 5x - 5x - 4 -2 - 6 = 2x
-2x = -4 -8 = 2x
x = 2 -4 = x
Identify who made the error and what he did wrong.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 3x.
Stephen made the error when he added 2.
Stephen made the error when he subtracted 5x.
answer:
</span>In the Aaron`s work:
- 2 = - 2 x - 6
and after that:
- 2 - 6 = 2 x
It should be:
- 2 + 6 = 2 x
or: - 2 + 6 = 2 x - 6 + 6
Answer:
A ) Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
