Jordan solved the equation −7x + 25 = 48; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −7x + 25 = 48 Step

1: −7x + 25 − 25 = 48 − 25 Step 2: −7x = 23 Step 3: negative seven times x over seven = twenty-three over seven Step 4: x = twenty-three over seven

Answer:

The error was that Jordan didn't take into account the minus sign in the step 3. The solution of the equation is x=-\frac{23}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps to solve the equation -7x+25=48 would be:

  1. -7x+25-25=48-25,          the step 1 is correct.
  2. -7x=23,          the step 2 is correct
  3. \frac{-7x}{7}=\frac{23}{7},          the step 3 is correct.
  4. x=\frac{23}{7},           the step 4 is INCORRECT

The step 4 is incorrect because the minus sign in the step 3 was not taken into account. The correct steps would be:

  1. -7x+25-25=48-25
  2. -7x=23
  3. \frac{-7x}{7}=\frac{23}{7}
  4. -x=\frac{23}{7}
  5. -x\cdot (-1)=\frac{23}{7}\cdot (-1)
  6. x=-\frac{23}{7}

Thus, the error was that Jordan didn't take into account the minus sign in the step 3. The solution of the equation is x=-\frac{23}{7}

A loan officer makes $15 per hour working 2,000 hours each year. She also gets a fee of $35 for each loan she processes. If she
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

$61,500

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply take her hourly wage and multiply that by the hours she worked and take her additional earnings for each loan processed and multiply that by the number of loans she processed.

Consider her hourly wage of $15 per hour. If she worked 2000 hours, then we can say she got paid ($15 * 2000) = $30000 for her work that year.

Consider her processing fee of $35 per loan processed. If she processed 900 loans, then we can say she got paid ($35 * 900) = $31500 for her processed loans that year.

Then, to find her yearly total earnings, we simply add those two values. $30000 + $31500 = $61500.

Thus the loan officer made $61500 that year.

Cheers.

pickupchik [31]

Kinetic engery = -1/2mv^2

Work = Fd

Combine:

-1/2mv^2 - Fd = 0

-1/2mv^2 = (0.30*15000*9.81*cos(6))d = 0

Multiply both sides by 2:

v^2 = 2d(0.30*9.81*cos(6))

Solve for d:

d=v^2 / 2(0.30*9.81*cos96))

v = speed:

d = 35^2 / 2*0.30 * 9.81 * cos(6)

d = 1225 / 5.85376

d = 209.27 meters. Round answer as needed.
