The correct answer for this question is this one:

<span>Gwen used elimination with multiplication to solve the system: 
2x + 6y = 3 
x − 3y = −5 

Her work to find x is shown. Complete the explanation of her error. Then solve the system. If necessary, enter your answer as a reduced fraction. 
2(x − 3y) = −5 --> 2(x-3y) = 2(-5)
2x − 6y = −5 --> 2x - 6y = -10
2x + 6y = 3 --> 2x + 6y = 3
2x − 6y = −5 --> 2x - 6y = -10
4x + 0y = −2 --> 4x = -7
x = −2/4 --> <u>x = -7/4</u>

x - 3y = -5
4(-7/4 - 3y = -5)
-7 - 12y = -20
-12y = -13
<u>y = 12/13</u>


Gwen forgot to multiply the right side by 2.

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.<br> 56<br> +<br> 32<br> =
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

8 * (7 + 4)

See process below

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing each number in PRIME factor form:

56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

Notice that the factors that are common to BOTH numbers are 2 * 2 * 2 (the product of three factors of 2).Therefore we see that the greatest common factor for the given numbers is : 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Using this, we can write the two numbers as the product of this common factor (8) times the factors that are left on each:

56 = 8 * 7

32 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 4

We can then use distributive property to "extract" that common factor (8) from the given addition as shown below:

56 + 32

8 * 7 + 8 * 4

8 * (7 + 4)

8 * (11)

quester [9]

Answer:

<h2>5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x) = ax² +bx, we are to determine the value of b-a. Before we determine the vwlue of b-a, we need to first calculate for the value of a and b from the given expression.

On expanding the left hand side of the expression we have;

= (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x)

Open the paranthesis

= 8x² −15x−x²+27x

collect the like terms

= 8x²−x²+27x −15x

=  7x²+12x

Comparing the resulting expression with ax²+bx

7x²+12x =  ax²+bx

7x² = ax²

a = 7

Also;

12x = bx

b =12

The value of b - a = 12 - 7

b -a = 5

Hence the value of b-a is equivalent to 5

Question 17/23
disa [49]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Percentage decrease = (amount of decrease)/(original price)

✪ Solve ✪

3.85 - 1.54/3.85 x 100

2.31/3.85 x 100 = 60%

Hence, Percent decrease is 60%
