Jordan solved the equation −7x + 25 = 48; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −7x + 25 = 48 Step

1: −7x + 25 − 25 = 48 − 25 Step 2: −7x = 23 Step 3: negative seven times x over seven = twenty-three over seven Step 4: x = twenty-three over seven Step 1: He should have added 25 to each side. Step 1: He should have divided both sides by −7. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by −7. Step 3: He should have multiplied both sides by −7.

Step 3, he should have divided both sides by -7 instead of positive 7 otherwise they won't cancel out.

Hope that helps.

The error is in Step 3. Jordan should have divided both sides by -7, not 7. Instead of x = 23/7, the answer is x = -23/7.

What is the solution set of this inequality? 8(x-5)-3x>/= -20
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

[ 4, ∞ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(x - 5) - 3x ≥ - 20 ← distribute and simplify left side

8x - 40 - 3x ≥ - 20

5x - 40 ≥ - 20 ( add 40 to both sides )

5x ≥ 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x ≥ 4

Solution set is [ 4, ∞ )

A local diner purchased a jukebox for 9400. The business makes a down payment of 1000 and agrees to pay 36 payments of 275 per m
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Finance charge = $1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of  jukebox = $9400

Down payment made by a local diner = $1000

Balance amount to be paid = 9400 - 1000 = $8400

In order to pay the balance amount diner agreed upon the installments = $275 per month for 36 months

Total amount to be paid in 36 months = 275 × 36 = $9900

So extra payment done = Total balance amount - Amount paid in 36 installments

= 9900 - 8400

= $1500

Therefore, finance charge paid by the diner was $1500.

Geometric sequence or whatever
sladkih [1.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

An = -2 * An-1

What this means is that you multiply -2 to the term to get the next term.

Since our 1st term (A1) is -2, we have:

A2 = -2 * A1 = -2 * (-2) = 4,

A3 = -2 * A2 = -2 * (4) = -8,

A4 = -2 * A3 = -2 * (-8) = 16,

A5 = -2 * A4 = -2 * (16) = -32,

A6 = -2 * A5 = -2 * (-32) = 64.

Hence our first 6 terms in the GP are

-2, 4, -8, 16, -32 and 64.
