Answer:

Instead of moving the 3x to the opposite side of the equation they moved the 2x. And the correct answer is x=-6 not x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Student Work:

2(x + 4) – 8 = 3x+10-4

2x + 8–8 = 3x + 6

2x = 3x + 6

- 3x – 3x

X = 6

My work:

2(x+4)-8=3x+10-4

2x+8-8=3x+6

2x=3x+6

-x=6

x=-6

docker41 [41]

Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Alex has some target to run a certain number of miles by the end of the month.

Goal already achieved = 40% of the total goal

Number of miles already run by Alex = 12 miles

To find:

Number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of month?

Solution:

We have to find nothing but the goal of Alex here.

Let the number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = x miles

As per question statement:

40% of total number of miles to be run = 12 miles

OR

\dfrac{40}{100}\times x = 12\\\Rightarrow 40x=12\times 100\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1200}{40}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 30\ miles}

Total number of miles that Alex is trying to run by the end of the month = <em>30 miles</em>
