Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five

Malloy error was in step 3, Malloy put -5x over 5 = 24 over 5, but the correct way to do step 3 is -5x over -5 = 24 over -5 which then x would equal to 24 over -5 or x = -4.8 in simpler terms

Find an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-5, -9) and (2,-7)
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

y=0.3x - 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

line: y=ax+b

a= Δy ÷ Δx

a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)

a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3

y=0.3x + b

Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).

0.3 × 2 + b = -7

0.6 + b = -7

b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6

So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6

On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: c) 300 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of copies that you must sell to break even.

You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest 3,255 for computer hardware,and spend 2.90 to buy and package each disk. This means that the total cost of producing each software would be

3255 + 2.9x

If each program sells for $13.75, it means that the total revenue from selling each software would be

13.75x

In order to break even, total cost would be equal to total revenue. Therefore,

3255 + 2.9x = 13.75x

13.75x - 2.9x = 3255

10.85x = 3255

x = 3255/10.85

x = 300 copies

Aleks04 [339]

1500 people subscribed Sunday edition and 250 people subscribed only sunday edition.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A survey of 2500 subscribers to a certain news paper revealed that 2250 people subscribe to the daily morning edition  

And 1250 subscribe to both the daily and the sunday editions.  

We have to find how many subscribe to the Sunday edition? how many subscribe to the Sunday edition only?

Let x denote the number who subscribe to the Sunday edition.  

Then the addition rule with overlap tells us that  

Those who subscribe daily edition + those who subscribe sunday edition - those who subscribe both daily and sunday edition = total subscribers in survey

2250 + x – 1250 = 2500

1000 + x = 2500  

x = 1500  

so, 1500 subscribe to the Sunday edition and 1500 – 1250 = 250 subscribe to the Sunday edition only.

Hence, 1500 people subscribed Sunday edition and 250 people subscribed only sunday edition.
