Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7

Answer:
By calculating water displacement
Step-by-step explanation:
Because Julio knows the volume of water in the graduated cylinder, by dropping the pebble in, he can record the new volume of both the water and pebble. Subtracting the volume of the water from the volume of both will leave him with the volume of the pebble. This technique is water displacement.
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.
First we will establish the equations which we will be using as displayed below:
Equation No. 1 -
A + B = 90°
Equation No. 1 -
A = 2B + 12
To begin with, let's make ( A ) the subject in the first equation as displayed below:
Equation No. 1 -
A + B = 90
A = 90 - B
Next we will substitute the value of ( A ) from the first equation into the second equation and solve for ( B ) as displayed below:
Equation No. 2 -
A = 2B + 12
( 90 - B ) = 2B + 12
- B - 2B = 12 - 90
- 3B = - 78
B = - 78 / - 3
B = 26°
Then we will substitute the value of ( B ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( A ) as displayed below:
A = 90 - B
A = 90 - ( 26 )
A = 64°
ANSWER:
Therefore, the answer is:
A = 64°
B = 26°
