Divide 4.10 by 7 to get about 0.59 (round up because you can't get part of a penny) and that gives you 1/8 of a yard's price. Then multiply that by 8 to get a full yard for $4.72.
The sum is of n and 14 can be written as:
n+14=72
Im not good in math and this is my first question, my best guess is D
I will investigate tommorow this problem a little bit more... <3
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
Y=mx+b is the formula you need to get it in
start with the equation 8x-2y=5
so we want to get y by itself and everything else on the right side of the equation. to do this first subtract -8x from the left side and put it on the right side. this step would look like this:
8x-2y=5
-8x-2y=5 -> -2y=5-8x
-------------
next take and divide -2 from both sides of the equation. this would look like this:
-2y= 5 -8x
÷-2y=÷-2÷-2 -> y= -5/2 +4x
-------------------
so your new equation is y=4x-5/2 y=mx+b tells you the slope and y-intercept. m=slope and b=y-intercept. so in this case 4 is your slope and -5/2 is your y-int
