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.

Answer:

300.

This is the product of 12 x 25. The lowest possible number with questions like these is [number] multiplied by [number], and in this case that's 300.

For any integer x,x2-x will always produce an even value

Levart [38]

Consider expression $x^2-x.$ First, you can factor it:

$x^2-x=x(x-1).$

Since x is integer number, then you can see that x-1 is previous integer number (x-1 is 1 unit smaller than x).

Therefore, x-1 and x are two consecutive integers. When you have two consecutive integers, one of them is always even and one is always odd. Multiplying even integer number by odd integer number you always get even integer number.

Thus, $x^2-x$ is always even.
