Answer:

No he was not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation is 15 x + 6 = 14 x + 5

now By the steps brandon used let us solve the question

Step 1 : Add 14 negative x tile to both sides

which will make the equation

15x + 6 - 14x = 14x + 5 - 14 x

x + 6 = 5  .......(ii)

Step 2: Add 5 negative unit tiles to both sides of equation (ii)

which will make the equation

x +6 - 5 = 5 - 5

x + 1 = 0  .........(iii)

Step 3: x =1 is the answer

but from equation (iii) we see that

x + 1 =0

by adding -1 on both sides

x + 1 -1 = 0-1

x = -1

So the step three done by Brandon is wrong which explains he was not correct

Raymond was riding a zip-cable from the top of a viewing post. The cable is 65 yards long. The viewing post is 52 yards high and
grin007 [14]
In order to figure out the horizontal distance Raymond travels using his zip cable, we may simply apply Pythagoras theorem which is, for a right triangle:
hypotenuse² = base² + height²
base = √(hypotenuse² - height²)
base = √(65² - 52²)
base =  39 yards
Raymond will travel a horizontal distance of 39 yards.

Kristen just deposited $6,500 into a new bank account that pays 4.5% interest the first year and 3% compounded annually each yea
vladimir2022 [97]

This question is about compound interest, but since the interest is such a small number you can use what you know about simple interest to eliminate some answers.

You can immediately eliminate choice A as a clunker, since it is less than the original amount in the account.

Consider what the amount of interest would be if you make the rate much larger than the original rate, say 10%, or 0.1:

$6,500 × 0.1 = $650

If this amount were added to the original amount each year for two years, the total would be:

$6,500 + $650 + $650 = $6,500 + $1,300 = $7,800

This is an over-estimate for the information given, and since choices C and D are even greater than this over-estimate, they can be eliminated. That means choice B is the correct answer.
