Sarita showed the steps to solving the equation. 5 (x minus 3) + 7 (x + 4) = 73 Steps Sarita’s Solution Sarita’s Verification 1

5 x minus 15 + 7 x + 28 = 73 5 (5 minus 3) + 7 (5 + 4) = 73. 5 (negative 2) + 7 (9) = 73. Negative 10 + 63 = 73. 53 not-equal-to 73. 2 (5 + 7) x + (negative 15 + 28) = 73 3 12 x + 13 = 73 4 12 x + 60 5 x = 5 When Sarita tried to verify her answer, she found it was wrong. Which explains her mistake? Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification. Sarita was supposed to add the 5 and 7 in the first step. Sarita added +13 instead of Negative 13 in the fourth step. Sarita was supposed to use the division property of equality in the third step.

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

Given the following equation:

5 (x-3) + 7 (x + 4) = 73

The steps to solve it are:

1. Apply the Distributive property:

5x-15+7x+28=73

2. Add the like terms:

12x+13=73

3. Subtract5 13 from both sides of the equation:

12x+13-(13)=73-(13)\\\\12x=60\\\\

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 12:

\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5

To verify it, let's substitute x=5 into the equation:

5 (5-3) + 7 (5 + 4) = 73

Evaluating, we get:

5 (2) + 7 (9) = 73\\\\10+63=73\\\\73=73

Based on this, we can determine that Sarita's solution is correct, but she made an error in her verification (Observe that  5-3\neq -2)

5 Ethan scored x points in a game. His younger sister scored 8 points when she
Nuetrik [128]

The remaining values will be<u> 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23</u>

<h3 /><h3>System of equations</h3>

Given the following parameters

Ethan's score = x points

His younger sister's score = 8 points

If their total score is y points, hence the  equation relating x and y is expressed as:

x + 8 = y

x = 8 - y

If x = 10

y = x + 8

y = 18

The ramining values will be<u> 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23</u>

Which equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 80)?
Fudgin [204]

The function f(x) = 5(x)⁴, and f(x) = 5(4)ˣ represents the function that passes through the point (2, 80) option second and fourth are correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have; an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 80).

f(x) = 4(x)⁵

Plug (2, 80) in the abovew function:

f(2) = 4(2)⁵ = 128 (false)

f(x) = 5(x)⁴

Plug (2, 80) in the abovew function:

f(2) = 5(2)⁴ = 80 (true)

f(x) = 4(5)ˣ

f(2) = 4(5)² = 100 (false)

f(x) = 5(4)ˣ

f(2) = 5(4)² = 80 (true)

Thus, the function f(x) = 5(x)⁴, and f(x) = 5(4)ˣ represents the function that passes through the point (2, 80) option second and fourth are correct.
