9 + 12m = 6 + 15m -15
9 + 12m = 15m - 9
9 = 3m - 9
18 = 3m
m = 6
Answer:
3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the following ratio:
2400 watt-hours 1 day
------------------------- = ----------
9000 watt-hours x days
Then do criss-cross-apple-sauce:
x*2400=9000*1
And then solve for x:
2400x=9000
x=9000/2400
x=3.75
when you are adding two negative numbers, the sum is basically the two numbers added together but as a negative. when added together they create a larger negative number; ex. -2 -8 = -10 which is the same as 2 + -8 = -10. when you are multiplying two negative numbers, you are really just multiplying the numbers and they come out to be a positive. a negative times a negative is a positive. ex. -5 x -5 = 25.
Eloise made these steps well:
Square root of negative 2x plus 1 - 3 = x
Square root of negative 2x plus 1 - 3 + 3 = x + 3
The error comes in the next step:
Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3
Square root of negative 2x plus 1 -1 = x + 3 - 1
Square root of negative 2x = x + 2
the number one is inside the root, therefore they can not be subtracted.
answer
error in the step:
Square root of negative 2x = x + 2
