Answer:

He messed up the signs, most likely by multiplying incorrectly. It should be 53x+12.

Step-by-step explanation:

You begin by multiplying both -2 and -10x by -6.

Remember a negative times a negative makes a positive.

-6(-2-10x)

12+60x

Then you need to combine like terms which are 60x and -7x

60x-7x

53x

So that means the final answer will be

53x+12

Find a solution to the linear equation-2x-2y=8 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y
Marina86 [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want the "root" of the equation...

First get y by itself on one side. You should get y = - x - 8.

Notice that this is the equation of a straight line.

Then let y = 0, and solve for x. You should get x = -8.

So the solution or "root" of the equation is at the point (-8,0)

Robert borrowed $750 from his parents. He promised to repay the loan by giving his parents at least $67 from his paycheck each w
Luda [366]

To answer this question we can propose the following equation:


d=750 -x(67)


Where:


x is the number of weeks elapsed.


d is the debt depending on the weeks.



Robert promised to pay at least $ 67 each week.


Therefore, after 5 weeks the debt of rober should be:


d\leq750-5*67

d\leq415


Then scenario A) is possible because 150.



After 6 weeks:


d\leq750-6*67


d\leq348

Then scenario B) is possible because 200.



After 7 weeks


d\leq750-7*67


d\leq281

Then scenario C) is possible because 250.



After 8 weeks

d\leq750-8*67

d\leq214

So scenario D) is NOT possible because 300>214



Finally the correct answer is option D.
