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.

Consider the following relation: {(1,12), (3,8), (3, 11), (6,9), (7,11)). Which ordered
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(3,11) or (7,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function cannot have the same second number repeated ( forgot the term for the second number) so removing either (3,11) or (7,11) would leave it being a function

Mr Leonard wants to top-up his central heating oil tank.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

£45.84

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find out how much oil he will be buying. Because he wants to top it off, he will be filling the tank to it's capacity. So we will subtract the amount of oil already in the tank from the max capacity.

1200 - 450 = 750

Now we will find out how much that amount of oil will cost by multiplying it by the cost of oil per liter.

750 * 81.5 = 61125

We will convert the pence to pound sterling.

61125 / 100 = 611.25

He will get a 7.5 discount on the oil, so we will find 7.5% of that by multiplying it.

611.25 * .075 = 45.84375

Then we round the answer down to 45.84.
