The option that explains Sarita's mistake is Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification.
<h3>What was Sarita's mistake?</h3>
The given equation is: 5(x - 3) + 7(x + 4) = 73
In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:
1. Apply the Distributive property:
5x - 15 + 7x + 28 = 73
2. Add similar terms together:
12x + 13 = 73
3. Combine similar terms:
12x = 73 - 13
4. Add similar terms
12x = 60
5. Divide both sides of the equation by 12
x = 60 / 12
x = 5
In order to verify the answer, substitute for x in the given equation :
5(5 - 3) + 7(5 + 4) = 73
5(2) + 7(9) = 73
10 + 63 = 73
73 = 73

Answer:
A literal equation is an equation which consists primarily of letters. Formulas are an example of literal equations.
The first part of the second line, she left the -5 there. The correct work and solution should be this:
5(2x-1)-3x=5x+9
<span><span>7x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+<span>9
</span></span>2x-5=9
2x=14
x=7
Answer:
Price of widget to break even= $37.9
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the equation representing the amount of profit, y, made by the company, in relation to the selling price of each widget, x is;
y = -8x² + 348x - 1705
Now, the company will break even when it has made no profit. That is when, y = 0
Thus;
0 = -8x² + 348x - 1705
Rearranging,
8x² - 348x + 1705 = 0
Using quadratic formula ;
x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
x = [-8 ± √(-348² - 4•1•1705)]/(2 x 8)
x = $5.63 or $37.87
We'll use $37.87 because it is the highest price for which no profit is made, and higher price means that we could sell least number of products to earn a certain amount of money.
We are told to approximate to nearest cent. Thus,
Price of widget = $37.87 ≈ $37.9
What we know is that the sum of a triangle's internal angles are 180º, and a straight angle makes 180º.
first, we have to find the third internal angle(let's call it n) so that we can use it to find the exterior angle.
(3x + 20) + (4x + 5) + n = 180
simplify:
7x + 25 + n = 180
7x + n = 155
n = 155 - 7x
Now we can add it to the external angle to find x.
(155 - 7x) + (8x + 15) = 180
simplify:
170 + 8x - 7x = 180
170 + x = 180
x = 10
Now we can substitute it to the external angle.
8 x 10 + 15 = 95
the exterior angle is 95º.
