Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation. 5 (x minus 3) + 7 (x + 4) = 73 Steps Sarita's Solution Sarita's Verification 1

5 x minus 15 + 7 x + 28 = 73 5 (5 minus 3) + 7 (5 + 4) = 73. 5 (negative 2) + 7 (9) = 73. Negative 10 + 63 = 73. 53 not-equal-to 73. 2 (5 + 7) x + (negative 15 + 28) = 73 3 12 x + 13 = 73 4 12 x + 60 5 x = 5 When Sarita tried to verify her answer, she found it was wrong. Which explains her mistake?

Answer:

Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification. Sarita was supposed to add the 5 and 7 in the first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation:

The steps to solve it are:

5(x-3)+7(x+4)-73

1. Apply the Distributive property:

5x-15+7x+28=73

2. Add the like terms:

12x+13=73

3. Subtract5 13 from both sides of the equation:

12x+13-(13)=73-(13

12x=60

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 12:

12r/12 = 60/12

x = 5

To verify it, let's substitute  into the equation:

5(5-3)+7(5+4)=73

Evaluating, we get:

5(2)+7(9)=73

10+63=73

73=73

Based on this, we can determine that Sarita's solution is correct, but she made an error in her verification (Observe that 5-3 is not equal to -2 )

Factor the perfect square trinomial.<br> x(Squared)+4x+4
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(x + 2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x + 4 ← is a perfect square of the form

(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a²

Compare like terms

a² = 4 ⇒ a = \sqrt{4} = 2, thus

x² + 4x + 4 = (x + 2)²

Consider the following function.
goldfiish [28.3K]
We have that
<span>f(x) = (3/2)*x + 4

case 1) for x=-8
</span>f(-8) = (3/2)*(-8) + 4--------> -8
point (-8,-8)

case 2) for x=-4
f(-4) = (3/2)*(-4) + 4--------> -2
point (-4,-2)

case 3) for x=-2
f(-2) = (3/2)*(-2) + 4--------> 1
point (-2,1)

case 4) for x=0
f(0) = (3/2)*(0) + 4--------> 4
point (0,4)

case 5) for x=2
f(2) = (3/2)*(2) + 4--------> 7
point (2,7)

case 6) for x=4
f(4) = (3/2)*(4) + 4--------> 10
point (4,10)
