Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;
7x+5x+1=73
take the sum of 7x and 5x
12x+ 1 = 73
subtract 1 from both sides
12x+1-1 = 73-1
12x = 72
Divide both sides by 12
12x/12 = 72/12
x = 6
Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.
<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>
I think the answer is the 3rd rectangle but I'm not too sure I'm sorry
Add like terms and put x in the middle.
-3 < -2x + x - 3x ≤ 5 - 2
-3 < - 4x ≤ 3
Sign changed when divide by negative numbers
(3/4) > x ≥ (-3/4)
