Answer:
C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.
3 = x/2 - 5
Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.
8 = x/2
What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.
What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)
Correct Step 2:
Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.
x = 16
Incorrect Step 2:
8/2 = (x/2)/2
4 = x/4
Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).
16 = x
Answer:
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute
3/2y - 3/2 = y + 5
Step 2: Subtract <em>y</em> on both sides
1/2y - 3/2 = 5
Step 3: add 3/2 on both sides
1/2y = 13/2
Step 4: Divide both sides by 1/2
y = 13
Answer:
560
Step-by-step explanation:
14 x 8 x 10 = 1320
10 x 10 x 8 = 800
1320 + 800 = 2120cm cubed
Hope this helps!
Find area of one side
so 14 * 14 = 196
then add 196 6 times for all the sides
196 * 6 = 1176
