1 answer:

4 0

Carlos made the mistake that he did not combine like terms (3 x and 2 x) properly and did not use addition property of equality.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Carlos did the work as 3 x + 2 x - 6 = 24

We need to find his mistake that he made in above given.

Here, he did not add the like terms (3 x and 2 x)

3 x + 2 x = 5 x

Therefore, his work should be

5 x - 6 = 24

Also, he did not use addition property of equality. It means the equation remains same even though the same number gets added on both sides. It would be

5 x - 6 = 24

+ 6 = + 6

-----------------------

5 x = 30

Dividing 30 by 5, we get answer as '6'. Hence,

$x=\frac{30}{5}$ = 6

So, stated the above two are the mistakes found in carlos work.

Part A.

Consider a punch containing L liters.

60% of these that is $\frac{60}{100}L=0.6L$ is grape juice, and the rest, 0.4 L is lemon-soda.

so, for the variable L, the total amount of punch, the total amount of grape juice is 0.6 L
and the amount of lemon soda in the punch is 0.4L

Part B.

For L=2, we substitute and get:

0.6 L=0.6 * 2 liters = 1.2 liters of grape juice

0.4 L = 0.4 * 2 liters = 0.8 liters of lemon soda.
