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 )

Find values for c and d that make h(x) continuous.
rewona [7]

By applying the definition of continuity and knowing piecewise functions, we know that the solution to this system of linear equations is c = 10 and d = -8.

<h3>How to make a piecewise function continuous</h3>

According to the <em>functional</em> theory, functions are continuous for a given interval if and only if the function has an only value for each element of the interval. In the case of the <em>piecewise</em> function, we must observe these two conditions:

2 · x = c · x² + d, for x = 1     (1)

4 · x³ = c · x² + d, for x = 2      (2)

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

c + d = 2      (1b)

4 · c + d = 32     (2b)

The solution to this system of linear equations is c = 10 and d = -8.
