Answer:

They changed 5m into a positive when it should've stayed as a negative until you isolate the variable m at the end, making m actually equal -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5m - 16 = 19

-5m = 19 + 16

-5m = 35

m = 35/-5

m = -7

Multiply (2a-5)(4a-7) Simplify your answer

Pie

$(2a - 5)(4a - 7)$

$2a(4a - 7) - 5(4a - 7)$

$8 {a}^{2} - 14a - 20a + 35$

$8 {a}^{2} - 34a + 35$

Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the cost of the desktop

then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.

.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227

.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227

.125x = 218.75

x = 1750

desktop (x) = $1750

laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
