Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller integer be n.
Then the larger integer is n + 2.
"When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer, the result is two less than five times the smaller integer."
The correct equation is:
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
His mistake is not using parentheses on the left side. Since he left out the parentheses, the left side is not "the smaller integer added to three times the larger integer", but rather it is "the smaller integer added to 2 plus 3 times the smaller integer."
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
n + 3n + 6 = 5n - 2
4n + 6 = 5n - 2
8 = n
n = 8
n + 2 = 10
The integers are 8 and 10.

b. 2(12-3x)=2*12-2*3x=24-6x
c. 24 and -6x just switched places.
d. 24x-6x=18x not 24-6x
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.
Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x
Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.
12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.
