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)

Write two different equations to describe each situation. a) You buy 3 identical shirts and 2 identical pairs of socks and spend
Ronch [10]

Answer:

3x + 2y = 38,  3a + 2b = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation may be defined as a statement that shows two mathematical expressions to be equal. It is to equate one thing to another thing.

In the context, two different equations for the situations are :

i). Let the shirt be represented by x

   And the socks be represented by y

Therefore, according to the question,

   3x + 2y = 38

ii). Let the shirt be represented by a

   And the socks be represented by b

Therefore, according to the question,

   3a + 2b = 38

Which of the following illustrate the commutative property? select all that apply
tatiyna
The answer choices would be: A, D, and E. These would be the correct answer choices because commutative property only works for addition and multiplication. Therefore, C and F are incorrect. B would also be incorrect because it is showing the Distributive Property. I hope this helps!
