No cause if I helmet cost $42 , 7 helmets will be $294.
$42 = 1 helmet
$? = 7 helmets
cross multiply = 42 × 7 = $294
Alright,
you will need to solve for each variable to find if they got the equation correctly or not..
Let's start with h
isolate h
(1/2)h = A/(b1+b2)
Now we need to get rid of 1/2 we may do so by multiplying both sides by 2
h = 2(A/(b1+b2))
And that's not how they did it for h so Option D doesn't apply
Let's see C
Also doesn't apply since they multiplied 2 only by A rather than A/h
Let's see B
Also not correct they made the same mistake as with option C
Let's see A
again same mistake
when multiplying both sides by 2
the 2 should be as following
I believe you should contact your instructor and explain that non of the options is right.
Answer:
0.0094
Step-by-step explanation:
0.94%=0.0094
Elimination:
3x - 9y = 3
6x - 3y = -24
3x - 9y = 3
18x - 9y = -72
(subtract)
-15x = 75
÷ -15
x = -5
(3 × -5) - 9y = 3
-15 - 9y = 3
+ 15
-9y = 18
÷ -9
y = -2
Substitution:
6x - 3y = -24
+ 3y
6x = -24 + 3y
÷ 6
x = 4 + 0.5y
3(4 + 0.5y) - 9y = 3
12 + 1.5y - 9y = 3
12 - 7.5y = 3
- 12
-7.5y = -9
÷ -7.5
y = 1.2
x = 4 + (0.5 × 1.2)
x = 4 + 0.6
x = 4.6
So this one didn't fail as much, but I got different numbers. If you have to give in values, I'd give in the values from the elimination because I don't trust myself when it comes to the substitution
