Answer:
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.
Correct equation
Sum = addition (+)
two-thirds = 2/3
The tree's age = a
10 + 2/3a = 50
2/3a = 50 - 10
2/3a = 40
a = 40 ÷ 2/3
= 40 × 3/2
= 60
a = 60 years
Javier writes the equation
(10 + two-thirds) a = 50
(10 + 2/3)a = 50
(30+2/3)a = 50
32/3a = 50
a = 50 ÷ 32/3
= 50 × 3/32
= 150/32
a = 150/32
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

For this item, we let x be the number of hours she works out and y be the total number of bananas that she will be eating after the workout. The expression that best described the given above is,
y = 5 + 2x
5 is given as the y-intercept because of the initial condition.
Answer: -1 < x < 8
x = 3
x ≠ 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Isolate x in the middle. Perform operations to all 3 sides.
-6 < 2x - 4 < 12
<u>+4 </u> <u> +4</u> <u>+4 </u>
-2 < 2x < 16
<u>÷2 </u> <u>÷2 </u> <u> ÷2 </u>
-1 < x < 8
**************************************************************************
Isolate x. Solve each inequality separately. Remember to flip the sign when dividing by a negative.
4x ≤ 12 and -7x ≤ 21
<u>÷4 </u> <u>÷4 </u> <u> ÷-7 </u> <u>÷-7 </u>
x ≤ 3 and x ≥ 3
Since it is an "and" statement, x is the intersection of both inequalities.
When is x ≤ 3 and ≥ 3? <em>when x = 3</em>
****************************************************************************
Isolate x. Solve each inequality separately.
15x > 30 or 18x < -36
<u>÷15 </u> <u> ÷15 </u> <u> ÷18 </u> <u>÷18 </u>
x > 2 or x < 2
Since it is an "or" statement, x is the union of both inequalities.
When we combine the inequalities, x is every value except 2.
x ≠ 2
