Describe and correct the error in finding the solution to 8p (>/=) -7

Mathematics

erik [133]4 years ago
8 0
Given solution:               should be solution.

8p (>/=) -7          8p (>/=) -78p (>/=)-7           8p (>/=) -7       SAME
8p/8 (=) -7/8       8p/8 (>/=) -7/8 DIFFERENT
p (=) -7/8              p (>/=) -7/8    DIFFERENT

The error in the given solution was that the inequality sign > was taken out of the equation. It should not be because the expression is an inequality. p can be any number that is greater than or equal to -7/8. It is not limited to only -7/8.

What is the value of x? 6(-3-x)-2x=14
Lera25 [3.4K]
The equation given in the question has one unknown variable in the form of "x" and only one equation is required to find the value of the unknown variable. So it is absolutely possible to find the exact value of "x".
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
-18 - 8x = 14
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 we get
8x + 18 = - 14
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
4x + 9 = - 7
4x = - 7 - 9
4x = - 16
x = - 16/4
  = - 4
So the value of "x" comes out to be equal to - 4. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

A plane flies 440 miles with wind, and 340 miles against wind in same time. If speed of wind is 25 mph, find speed in still air?
Viefleur [7K]
V = s/t

now, t is equal for both cases so we write these 2 equations:
440/(Vp+Vw) = t

and 

340/(Vp-Vw) = t
Now again, since t is equal for both cases we can make these 2 equations equal to eachother.
440/(Vp+25) = 340/(Vp-25)
(Vp - 25)*44=34*(Vp+25)
44Vp - 1100 = 34Vp + 850
10Vp = 1950
Vp = 195

Answer is 195mph
