The answer is anything that adds up to 7.
Examples: (5 + 2) or (3 + 4)
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:
x = 2 , y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then
PT = TR , that is
y = 5x + 1 → (1)
QT = TS , that is
2y = 6x + 10 → (2)
substitute y = 5x + 1 into (2)
2(5x + 1) = 6x + 10
10x + 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
4x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
substituting into (1)
y = 5(2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
To simplify square root 27, find two numbers that equal 27. But also, one of the numbers should be a perfect square (such as 4, 9, 36...).
9*3=27. The square root of 9 is 3, which makes it a perfect square. So, the answer is A.
