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

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

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 <em>plus</em> 8, since -2 times -4 is <em>positive </em>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).

Which of these descriptions matches the graph?
qwelly [4]

The correct answer is A. Jimmy is running late, so he starts to run to school  but needs to take breaks.

Explanation:

The graph shows the distance in axis y and the time in axis x. Additionally, the graph presents different sections from A to E. In this, the sections A, C, and E show an increase in the distance from home, this implies there was movement. Moreover, the speed (distance traveled in time) is higher in sections C and E than in A because the distance increases in a shorter time. Also, in sections D and B there is no movement as time continues but the distance is the same. In this context, the description that best matches the graph is "Jimmy is running late, so he starts to run to school  but needs to take breaks" because this is the only option that includes the breaks or lack of movement in sections B and D. Also, the changes in speed are likely to occur in this scenario.

Fatima wants to add a 20% tip on a $56 restaurant bill.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is A) Round 56 to 60, find 10%, then double.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would round to 60 because 56 is closer to 60 than 50 then 10% is half of 20% so you would double it after you found 10% of 60.

Hope this helps :)
