Answer:
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.
Correct equation
Sum = addition (+)
two-thirds = 2/3
The tree's age = a
10 + 2/3a = 50
2/3a = 50 - 10
2/3a = 40
a = 40 ÷ 2/3
= 40 × 3/2
= 60
a = 60 years
Javier writes the equation
(10 + two-thirds) a = 50
(10 + 2/3)a = 50
(30+2/3)a = 50
32/3a = 50
a = 50 ÷ 32/3
= 50 × 3/32
= 150/32
a = 150/32
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
Answer:
-37/68
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4(14x+8)-(1/2x+2)=3/8(4-x)-1/4
(21/2x+6)-(1/2+2)=(3/2x-3/8)-1/4
(21/2x-1/2x)+(6-2)=3/2x-3/8-1/4
10x+4=3/2x-5/8
37/8=-17/2x
37/8 (2)=-17/2x(2)
37/4=-17x
37/68=-x
-37/68=x
Answer:
That would be rational
Step-by-step explanation: If you want to break it down it would be because when I look back to middle school Rational were not even to their numerator and denominator but not sure how that applies if you have 5/5 but your answer is rational hopes this helps.
