Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The step that was wrong is at C: when Jennifer added the 1 into the parentheses, she forgot to subtract 1 from the 7. The reason she needs to do that is because now, if you compare her equation at C with her original, they're not the same:

Original: x^2 + 2x + 7

Step C: x^2 + 2x + 8

So, Jennifer actually needs to subtract 1 from the 7 if she wants to add 1 into the parenthetical expression:

Correct Step C: (x^2 + 2x + 1) + 7 - 1 = (x^2 + 2x + 1) + 6

Now, the correct vertex form is: (x + 1)^2 + 6

Hope this helps!

Perform the indicated operations. x+1/3y+x-2/4y-x=3/6y
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The answer: 
_____________________________________________
x = (⅔)y ;

 y = 3x/2.
_____________________________________________
Given:

x + (⅓)y + x - (2/4)<span>y - x = (3/6)y ;
______________________________________ 
</span>
Take  the:  x + x - x = 1x + 1x - 1x = 2x - 1x = 1x = x ; 

and rewrite:

x + (⅓)y - (2/4)y = (3/6)y ;
_______________________________
 Note that:  (2/4)y = (<span>½)y ; 

        and:   (3/6)y = (</span><span>½)y ;  so;
___________________________
Rewrite as:
____________________________
</span>x + (⅓)y - (½)y = (½)y ;

Add "(½)y" to EACH SIDE of the equation;
_________________________________
    x  +  (⅓)y  -  (½)y  + (½)y = (½)y + (½)y ;

to get:  x +  (⅓)y = y ; 

x = 1y - (⅓)y = (3/3) y - (1/3)y - [ (3-1)/3] y = (⅔)y ; 

So:  x = (<span>⅔)y ;

In terms of "y" ; 

Given:  </span>(⅔)y = x ; Multiply each side of the equation by "3" ; 

3*[(⅔)y] = 3*x ;
 
 to get:  2y = 3x ;

Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" (in terms of "x"):

     2y / 2 = 3x / 2 ;

to get:  

      y = 3x/2 ;

The empty gas tank of a motor boat is to be filled. the tank is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 20cm , width 20cm ,
nikklg [1K]
To determine how long it will take to fill the empty tank, you will first find the capacity of the tank (the volume) and then divide this into groups of 750 cm^3.  Every group will be one minute.

V =lwh
20 x 20 x 15
V = 6000 cm^3

6000 cm^3/750 cm^3 = 8

It will take 8 minutes to fill the empty tank.
