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.

1:  1.19 for 67.2 ounces is about 1.77 cents per ounce.  However, $1.50 for 72 ounces is about 2.08 cents per ounce.  Clearly, then, the first bottle is cheaper.

2.  We simply divide 3/4 by 2 to get (3/4)/2=3/(4*2)=3/8.

3.  If the length of the second is 20 feet compared to a 2-foot length for the first, the width of the second rectangle will be ten times the width of the first, so the width of the second rectangle is 10*8=80.
