Caleb solved this equation and recorded his work. 7.4x + 4.1(2x − 4) = −2.3(x − 6) − 21.6 1. 7.4x + 8.2x − 16.4 = −2.3x + 13.8 −

21.6 2. 15.6x − 16.4 = −2.3x + 35.4 3. 17.9x − 16.4 = 35.4 4. 17.9x = 51.8 5. X ≈ 2.89 When Caleb verified his solution, it didn't work. What mistake did he make? In step 1, the distributive property was not used properly on the right side of the equation. In step 2, the like terms were not combined properly on the right side of the equation. In step 3, the addition property of equality was not used properly to isolate the variable term. In step 5, the division property of equality was not used properly to solve for x.

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations is

7.4x+4.1(2x-4)=-2.3(x-6)-21.6

The correct steps to solve the above equation are

1. Using distributive property, we get

7.4x+8.2x-16.4=-2.3x+13.8-21.6

2. Combining like terms, we get

15.6x-16.4=-2.3x-7.8

3. Using addition property of equality, add 2.3x on both sides.

17.9x-16.4=-7.8

4. Using addition property of equality, add 16.4 on both sides.

17.9x=8.6

5. Using division property of equality, divide both sides by 17.9.

x\approx 0.48

In step 2, the like terms were not combined properly on the right side of the equation.  

13.8-21.6=-7.8\neq 35.4

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Can someone confirm this? is it correct?
EastWind [94]
<span>60 Sorry, but the value of 150 you entered is incorrect. So let's find the correct value. The first thing to do is determine how large the Jefferson High School parking lot was originally. You could do that by adding up the area of 3 regions. They would be a 75x300 ft rectangle, a 75x165 ft rectangle, and a 75x75 ft square. But I'm lazy and another way to calculate that area is take the area of the (300+75)x(165+75) ft square (the sum of the old parking lot plus the area covered by the school) and subtract 300x165 (the area of the school). So (300+75)x(165+75) - 300x165 = 375x240 - 300x165 = 90000 - 49500 = 40500 So the old parking lot covers 40500 square feet. Since we want to double the area, the area that we'll get from the expansion will also be 40500 square feet. So let's setup an equation for that: (375+x)(240+x)-90000 = 40500 The values of 375, 240, and 90000 were gotten from the length and width of the old area covered and one of the intermediate results we calculated when we figured out the area of the old parking lot. Let's expand the equation: (375+x)(240+x)-90000 = 40500 x^2 + 375x + 240x + 90000 - 90000 = 40500 x^2 + 615x = 40500 x^2 + 615x - 40500 = 0 Now we have a normal quadratic equation. Let's use the quadratic formula to find its roots. They are: -675 and 60. Obviously they didn't shrink the area by 675 feet in both dimensions, so we can toss that root out. And the value of 60 makes sense. So the old parking lot was expanded by 60 feet in both dimensions.</span>

Help:) Factor f(x) = 4x^3+ 23x^2- 70x + 16 into linear factors given that - 8 is a zero of f(x).
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

(x + 8)(x - 2)(4x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x = - 8 is a zero then (x + 8) is a factor

Divide f(x) by (x + 8) using Synthetic division

- 8 | 4    23    - 70    16

        ↓  - 32      72   - 16

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

        4    - 9       2       0

Quotient = 4x² - 9x + 2 = (x - 2)(4x - 1)

Thus

f(x) = (x + 8)(x - 2)(4x - 1)
