Answer:

The error comes between steps 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we combine the like terms of 4x and -5x, then we get a -x. The problem above shows a positive x, which is incorrect.

In Step 2 an error was made, for the person solving this problem added the like terms incorrectly. If you are to subtract 5x (or add -5x) from (to) 4x, you would get the answer of -x or -1x. Therefore, the equation would be -x - 2 = 4.

To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with a leg of 7 square root 3 inches?
Morgarella [4.7K]
If it's a right triangle, and is also an isosceles triangle, namely two sides are of equal length, that means the other non-right-angles are 45° each, so the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, and thus we can apply the 45-45-90 rule, so let's do so.  Check the picture below.

Solve the equation below. Simplify if necessary.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

15 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

change -8 2/3 into an improper fraction = -26/3

-4/7v = -26/3

cross-multiply:

3(-4v) = (-26)7

-12v = -182

v = 182/12

v = 15 1/6
