Mistake found

3x-2(2x-4)=2

3x - 4x - 8 = 2 instead of 3x - 4x + 8 = 2

Correct answer

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system of equations:

$3x-2y=21 \text{ and } y=2x-4$

The student took the following steps:

$3x-2(2x-4)=21\\3x-4x-8=21\\-x-8=21\\-x=29\\x=-29\\y=2(-29)-4=-58-4=-62$

The student's mistake is in step 2. He/she distributed incorrectly. You are supposed to distribute the -2 to both terms, so it should be -4x plus 8, since -2 times -4 is positive 8. Fixing that mistake, we will have:

$3x-2(2x-4)=21\\3x-4x+8=21 \\-x+8=21\\-x=13\\x=-13\\y=2(-13)-4=-26-4=-30$

Thus, the final answers should be (-13, -30).

Nadia plans to paint her jewelry box. The box is shaped like a rectangular prism with the dimensions

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$132\ in^{2}$ is closest to the total surface area of the box

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the box is equal to

$SA=2B+PH$

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the box

we have

$L=7\frac{3}{4}\ in=\frac{7*4+3}{4}=\frac{31}{4}\ in$

$W=3\frac{1}{4}\ in=\frac{3*4+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}\ in$

$H=3\frac{7}{8}\ in=\frac{3*8+7}{8}=\frac{31}{8}\ in$

Find the area of the base B

$B=LW$

$B=(\frac{31}{4})(\frac{13}{4})=\frac{403}{16}\ in^{2}$

Find the perimeter of the base P

$P=2(L+W)$

$P=2(\frac{31}{4}+\frac{13}{4}))$

$P=2(\frac{44}{4})=22\ in$

Find the surface area

$SA=2(\frac{403}{16})+22(\frac{31}{8})$

$SA=(\frac{403}{8})+(\frac{682}{8})$

$SA=\frac{1,085}{8}=135.625\ in^{2}$

Question 2: show working out

kherson [118]

Answer in fraction form is exactly 2/27
Answer in decimal form is approximately 0.07407

========================================================

Explanation:

4 people play both,9 play flat flute only, 12 play piano only.
So 4+9+12 = 13+12 = 25 people play one instrument only or they play both.

We have 27 people total meaning that 27-25 = 2 play neither instrument.

Divide the values 2 and 27 to get
2/27 = 0.07407
this value is approximate (rounded to five decimal places)

10. Which equation could be used to solve the problem? Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in one hour. At that rate, how many bushe

Ratling [72]

The answer would be B. b = 8 * 4. If Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in an hour and the question wants to know how many bushels could be picked in 8 hours, its basically asking how many bushels are in 8 groups of 4.

George invited 65 students in his school to volunteer at a charity race. 39 of the students signed up to volunteer. What percent

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the amount of people who showed up by the total invited...

39/65 = 0.6

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100%...

0.6(100%) = 60%
