Which sentence contains an inappropriate shift in tense?

C. Hummingbirds are hovering over the geraniums while caterpillars munched leaves.

This is because the tense of the hummingbirds is in the "ing" form, while the tense of the caterpillars is in past tense, or the "ed" form. Because these tenses do not agree, it is an inappropriate shift in verb tense.

If 14x = ^13√14, what value of x makes this equation true?

Andrews [41]

The value of x is 1/13 (4th choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{ \frac{m}{n} } = \sqrt[n]{ {a}^{m} }$

If 14^x = ¹³√14, what value of x makes this equation true?

$\sqrt[13]{14} = {14}^{x} \\ \sqrt[13]{14} = {14}^{ \frac{1}{13} }$

So, the value of x is 1/13 (4th choice)

Hope it helpful and useful :)

X + y = 152, 8.5x + 12y = 1,656 How many hats were sold?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656$

From equation 1:

$x = 152-y$

Putting the value of y in equation 2

$8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104$

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

$x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48$

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.

Part of the student's solution for finding the quotient 288 ÷ 24 is shown below. 240 ÷ 24 = 10 288 – 240 = 48 48 ÷ 24 = 2 Which

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 10 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

288 ÷ 24 is shown below. 240 ÷ 24 = 10 288 – 240 = 48 48 ÷ 24 = 2

After obtaining the quotient of 288 ÷ 24 = 10,

Multiplying the divisor 24 by 10 = 240 and subtracting 240 from 288 to obtain the remainder = 48, the divisor is again used in 48 and the quotient obtained is added to the intula quotient value of 10 ; (10 + 2) and the process repeated
