Answer: In the last steps, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, Tobin makes the mistake in the last steps.
3(x-1.25) = 11.25
3x-3.75= 11.25
3x-3.75+3.75= 11.25+3.75
3x = 15
Until this step is the work ok.
Now, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3:
So:
3x /3 = 15/3
x = 5
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Steve ran 11 miles
let the distance Steve ran be x
Then distance Kevin ran is x + 4 ( 4 miles more than Steve )
x + x + 4 = 26 ( the sum of their distance is 26 )
2x + 4 = 26 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Steve ran 11 mies and Kevin ran 11 + 4 = 15 miles
check 11 + 15 = 26

Answer:
$7.62 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, Heather gets a raise every 3 months, in 2 years, she will get a raise 8 times (2years = 24 months, 24 divided by 3 is 8).
Now it becomes a compound growth problem. We can use the formula shown below to solve these type of problems.

Where,
- F is the future value (what we want to find)
- P is the present rate ($6.5)
- r is the rate of growth, in decimal (2% growth means 0.02)
- t is the time frame, number of times compounding occurs (for our case we have figured it to be 8)
<u>Now plugging in all the info, we get the value of F:</u>

Thus, after 2 years, Heather's hourly rate will be $7.62
Answer:
2 students from each 15 classrooms
Step-by-step explanation:
"The number of boys and girls is approximately equal" is probably the most random sample, that is if the whole topic of the publication is Lorrie and her experimenting endeavors. If that is not the subject, then "Lorrie wants to determine the average amount of time that students at her school spend on the computer each day" is the most strange and random
