Look at Karen's attempt to solve the equation for y: y + 8 = 15, y = 15 + 8, y = 23.Describe the mistake that Karen made.

1 answer:

6 0

The mistake that Karen made was that in order to get the 8 to switch sides, it should have been subtracted rather than added. This is because it is positive on the left side and therefore must be negative when we switch it to the right side. A proper version of this problem would be below.

y + 8 = 15

y = 15 - 8

y = 7

Anyone know how to simplify a whole number into a mixed number or a improper fraction???

Answer:

Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense

Match each description of an algebraic expression with the symbolic form of that expression

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A. 2 terms; variable = x; constant = 4.5 -------> 4.5 - 2x

B. 2 terms; variables = x and y -----------> 4.5y - 2x

C. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 2 --------------> 4.5x + 2 - 3y

D. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 3 --------------> x - 2y + 3

Its 100% correct just not in the order you put it in, I think you might of switched them but I just did the Warm-Up and its right my dudes :)
