Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>

Answer:

As you can see, Taylor failed to add 1 to her equation. This ruins the whole first step. She also used 72 instead of 73 for the answer. Taylor is incorrect.

Two friends are reading the same book. Amy can read 3 pages per minute, and she has already read 9 pages. Sam, who has a reading
Daniel [21]
Amy:  (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam:  (2 pages/min)(x min)  + 47 pages

Equate these:  3x+9 = 2x + 47

Then x = 38.  The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes.  How many pages would that be?  3(38)+9 = 123 pages.

HELP!!<br> what is the value of w?<br> A.40<br> B.52.5<br> C.75<br> D.100
Inga [223]
The angles w and 80 are inscribed angles in the top left and bottom right corners respectively. They are opposite angles in this inscribed quadrilateral. Because they are opposite angles in the inscribed quadrilateral, they add to 180 degrees.

w+80 = 180
w+80-80 = 180-80
w = 100
