Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an equation in one variable x.

It is as follows:

-5.4+x=12.2

To solve for x, we must make left side only with x and eliminate -5.4

For this only way is to add 5.4 to both the sides of the equation without affecting the equality.

When we add 5.4 to both sides -5.4 gets cancelled with 5.4 and make left side only x

-5.4+x=12.2

+5.4       5.4

------------------

x         =17.6

Thus we get answer correctly as 17.6

Kaitlin instead subtracted 5.4 from both the sides which made the equation

as

-10.8+x=6.8

Thus her answer 6.8 is incorrect

Paul and Brett went to math class and were given the same expression to simplify. The expression they were given was 6 + 12 divi
Tresset [83]

Solution: We know that:

Paul and Brett went to math class and were given the same expression to simplify. The expression they were given was 6 + 12 divided by 2(3) + 1.

Looking at the solution's by Paul and Brett, we clearly see that the Paul made a mistake at step 3.

6 + 12 ÷ 2(3) + 1

6 + 12 ÷ 6 + 1                       Correct

18 ÷ 6 + 1                             Incorrect  It should have been 6 + 2 +1

According to order of operation's rule, division needs to done before addition.

Therefore, solution by Paul carries a mistake, while the solution by Brett is correct.

What would be the answers for the three boxes please help
Westkost [7]

Look at the prime factorization. If all the factors have powers that are multiples of 6, then the number is a square and a cube. If they are multiples of 3, then a cube; if multiples of 2, then a square.

1000 = 2³·5³ . . . . a perfect cube

4 = 2² . . . . a perfect square

120 = 2³·3·5 . . . . none of the above (not a square or a cube)

36 = 2²·3² . . . . a perfect square

100 = 2²·5² . . . . a perfect square

49 = 7² . . . . a perfect square

125 = 5³ . . . . a perfect cube

25 = 5² . . . . a perfect square
