WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Jorge solves the equation 4x - (x + 20) + 6 = 2(3x + 8) using the steps below. Step 1: 4x - x + 2 + 6 = 6x

+ 16 Step 2: 3x + 8 = 6x + 16 Step 3: 8 - 16 = 6x - 3x Step 4: -8 = 3x Step 5: -8/3 = x Jorge verifies his solution by substituting -8/3 into the original equation for x. He determines that his solution is incorrect. Which best describes Jorge’s error? A. Jorge distributed incorrectly. B. Jorge incorrectly combined like terms. C. Jorge incorrectly applied the addition and subtraction properties of equality. D. Jorge incorrectly applied the multiplication and division properties of equality.

Answer:

A. Jorge distributed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x + 20) + 6 = 2(3x + 8)

4x - x - 20 + 6 = 6x + 16

3x - 14 = 6x + 16

3x - 6x = 16 + 14

-3x = 30

x = -10

For Step 1 of Jorge's work, he writes "4x - x + 2 + 6 = 6x + 16", instead of "4x - x - 20 + 6 = 6x + 16". That is the error that messes up the rest of his calculations.

What he did wrong does not apply to addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, so we can eliminate choices C and D. Jorge isn't combining like terms, either, so we can eliminate choice B. What Jorge did wrong was that he distributed incorrectly, so that is your answer: A. Jorge distributed incorrectly.

Hope this helps!

In each turn of a game you toss two coins. if 2 heads come up, you win 2 points and if 1 head comes up you win 1 point. if no he
Blizzard [7]

The expected value of the number of points for each turn is 0.25

<h3>What is expected value?</h3>

Expected value describes the long term average level of a random variable based on its probabilty distribution.

Now, Probability that 2 heads come up is

P(2 is H) = 1/4

Probability that 1 heads come up is

P(1 is H) = 2/4

⇒P(1 is H) = 1/2

Probability that no head will come up

P(no H's) = 1/4

Hence, the expected value for winning of 2points, 1point and  lose of3 points is given as-

Expected value = 2 * P(2 is H) + 1 * P(1 is H)  - 3 * P(no H's)

⇒Expected value = 2 * 1/4 + 1 * 1/2 - 3 * 1/4

= 0.5 + 0.5 - 0.75

⇒Expected value = 0.25

I need help figuring this out asap please
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

38.13 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is half of a circle we first find the area of a normal circle then divide by two.

So to find the area of  a circle it is pi times radius squared which in this case it would be 3.14 times 9 = 28.26

Then since it is a half circle we divide by two so

28.26/2 = 14.13

Then to find the area of the triangle we do 4 times 6 which is 24.

now we add the two which is 14.13 + 24 which is

38.13
