We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:

2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y

In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:

2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4

In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.

The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:

Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y

I hope this helps!

Yolanda owns 4 rabbits. She expects the number of rabbits to double every year.
jok3333 [9.3K]
R=Number of rabbits

y=Years that have passed by { y ≥ 0 }

R=f(y) --> R is a function of y.
---------------------------------------------

Note that when:

y=0, R=4 ---> Point: (0, 4)

y=1, R=8 ---> Point (1, 8)

y=2, R=16 ---> Point (2, 16)

y=3, R=32 ---> Point (3, 32)

y=4, R=64 ---> Point (4, 64)

--------------------------------------------

So the equation you want is going to form a curved graph.

That equation is:

R={ 2 }^{ y+2 }

<em>*You can test out this function on any decent graphing software.</em>

What value(s) of x make the equation x2 - 18x + 81 = 0 true?
gayaneshka [121]
X^2 - 18x + 81 = 0
x^2 - 9x - 9x + 81 = 0
x(x - 9) - 9(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)^2 = 0
x - 9 = 0
x = 9
