Answer:
Error: Sariah treated every term as though it were an x-term. 5 and -4.5 are constants that cannot be combined with the x-terms. They can only be combined with each other.
Correct solution: 31x + 0.5
Strategy: Pay attention to the variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
In her first step, it appears Sariah added 13x and 5 to get 18x. These terms are not <em>like terms</em>, so cannot be added in this way. An appropriate strategy is to first identify all the terms with the same <em>variables</em> (x in this case), then add their <em>coefficients</em>.
... = x(13 +17 +1) +5 -4.5
Likewise, all the <em>constant</em> terms can be added.
... = 31x +(5 -4.5)
... = 31x + 0.5
Answer:
-28
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both 9 and 16 by 4 and then subtract the sum of 16 × 4 from 9 × 4.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
the first payment is 100 so that is added on. $25 per month so 25m
t=25m+100
To do this we have to do 7 divided by 2/3
The first step to dividing fractions is to turn it into a mutipuacation sentence
7x2/3
Now we want to flip the second fraction over or make it a reciprocal
Our new equation is
7x 3/2 which is equal to 21/2
There are two ways. You may simplify it to 10 1/2 or just leave it as it is
