Colton solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

He did not add 13 to 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Step 1: x − 13 = 26  

           Step 2: x = 26 − 13  

           Step 3: x = 39

To Find: Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Colton’s solution?

Solution:

Correct steps

Step 1:x- 13 = 26

Step 2:x = 26+13

Step 3:x = 39

So, this concludes that He did not add 13 to 26 in step 2

So, Option C is correct.

Hence He did not add 13 to 26.

Select all of the points that are solutions to the system of linear inequalities that is listed below 10x + 4y &lt; 12 8x -3y &g
liberstina [14]

Answer:

(3, -8) and (2, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

10x + 4y < 12

8x - 3y > 20

Required

Select the true coordinate points in (3, -8) (2, 5) (-5, 1) (10, 3) (2, -10)

(3, -8)

x = 3 and y = -8

10x + 4y < 12

10 * 3 + 4 * -8 < 12

30 - 32 < 12

-2 < 12 --- True

8x - 3y > 20

8 * 3 - 3 * -8> 20

24 +24> 20

48> 20 --- True

(2, 5)

x = 2 and y = 5

10x + 4y < 12

10 * 2 + 4 * 5 < 12

20 + 20 < 12

40 < 12 --- False (No need to check the other inequality)

(-5, 1)

x = -5 and y = 1

10x + 4y < 12

10 * -5 + 4 * 1 < 12

-46 < 12 --- True

8x - 3y > 20

8 * -5 - 3 * 1 > 20

-43 > 20 --- False

(10, 3)

x = 10 and y = 3

10x + 4y < 12

10 * 10 + 4 * 3 < 12

112 < 12 --- False (No need to check the other inequality)

(2, -10)

x = 2 and y = -10

10x + 4y < 12

10 * 2 + 4 * -10 < 12

-20 < 12 --- True

8x - 3y > 20

8 * 2 - 3 * -10 > 20

46 > 20 --- True

Hence, the solution to the inequalities are:

(3, -8) and (2, -10)

In the figure,BE||CD. Solve for . Show your work.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AE is 9. ED is 6. The triangle ABE is proportional to ACD, so their sides are proportional. For example, AE:ED = AB:BC. So, ED/AE = 2/3 = BC/AB. This gives us 2/3 = x/10, which gives us x=6.6667

Hello, can someone please assist me with this question?
kirill [66]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

If you didnt know the given angles in the triangle added together equal the missing triangles supplement aka z+50

So all we have to do is set up an equation

z+50=30+6x-45

step 1 combine like terms

30-45=-15

now we have

z+30=6x-15

step 2 add 15 to each side

-15+15 cancels out

30=15=45

now we have

z+45=6z

step 3 subtract z from each side

z-z cancels out

6z-z=5z

now we have

45=5z

step 4 divide each side by 5

5/5 cancels out

45/5=9

z=5

so we can conclude that z=9

hope this helps :)
