X will represent unknown
2x-4<3x
treat the < sign as a = sign
2x-4=3x
subtract 2x form both sides
-4=x
put the < sign back
-4<x
-4 is less than than x or
x is greater than -4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-3+5x
substitute y into equation 2
3x-8y=24
3x-8(-3+5x)=24
3x+24-40x=24
x=0
y=-3+5(0)
y=-3
(x,y)=(0,3)
Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7
Answer:
6 squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of a perfect square is a rational number.
Answer:
19 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
T = -14 -76 + 19h
The -14 is the cost for tolls, and the -76 is the cost for gas. The 19h is the amount she'll get per hour if she makes $19/hour. And T is the total profit
We want to solve for h if T = 260
260 = -14 -76 + 19h
+14 +14
274 = -76 +19h
+76 +76
350 = 19h
/19 /19
18.42 = h
She must work 19 hours.
Hope this helps!
