The student's error was in first step where he added -0.72 instead of 0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

z + (-0.72) = -2.5

When solving for z, eliminate the other numbers from one side.

Step 1: z + (−0.72) + (−0.72) = −2.5 + (−0.72)

In this step, the student should have added 0.72 because -0.72 was already present in the equation and to eliminate it, he should have add same number with opposite sign.

According to this Step, -0.72 and -0.72 would have been added, because according to mathematics, two numbers with minus sign are added and the sign remains same.

The student's error was in first step where he added -0.72 instead of 0.72

Answer:

To solve, you must use the inverse operation. In step 1, -0.72 should have been subtracted from both sides, not added. Otherwise, 0.72 should have been added to both sides, not -0.72.

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ
Anit [1.1K]
No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect
