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!

Value of x is 3.2x-9.6=38.4?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The steps that can be done to both sides of the equation is: Add 9.6, then divide by 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

3.2x - 9.6 = 38.4

-First you add both sides 9.6:

3.2x -9.6 +9.6 = 38.4 +9.6

3.2x = 48

-Then, you divide both sides by 3.2:

\frac{3.2x}{3.2} = \frac{48}{3.2}

x=15

Why is 1/2 of 2 equals one whole
algol [13]
Hey There :)

This is because one is half of two. You could also multiply 2 * 0.5= 1, 0.5 represents \frac{1}{2} and two is the whole number. This is how \frac{1}{2} of two equals one.
