The mistake is in step 3:
I: −2m =−12 − 2n
II: 2m = 8 + 8n
the student set both right sides of the equations equal (−12 − 2n = 8 + 8n), but the left sides aren't equal: first equation has -2m, second has +2m so the signs of one of the equations must be inverted first
Harrison walked a total of 14 km because the first rectangle has a perimeter of 6 km and the second has a perimeter of 8 km. Harrison’s brother walked a total of 12 km since that was the perimeter of the 5*1. 14-12 is 2 so there is a 2 km difference.
In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance and they can be used to find the necessary answers. It is already given that John and Andrew have 3.40 pound together. It is also given that John has 1.20 pound more than Andrew. It is also assumed that John has"u" pound and Andrew has "v" pounds.
Then we can write the two equations as
u + v = 3.40
u = v + 1.20
To find the values of u and v, we can replace the u in the first equation with the value of u in the second equation. Then
u + v = 3.40
(v + 1.20) + v = 3.40
2v + 1.20 = 3.40
2v = 3.40 - 1.20
2v = 2.2
v = 2.2/2
= 1.1
Now we replace the value of v in the first equation to find the value of u.
u + v = 3.40
u + 1.1 = 3.40
u = 3.40 - 1.1
u = 2.3
Answer:
Y=2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
The x has to be at 0 so you count down by 2's since its negative till its at 0 hope this helps!:)
Answer:
2 should be distributed as 2y + 8; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(y + 4) = 4y
Distribute
2y + 8 = 4y
Step 2 is incorrect because the added instead of multiplied
Continuing on to correct the problem
Subtract 2y from each side
2y+8-2y = 4y-2y
8 = 2y
Divide by 2
8/2 = 2y/2
4 =y
