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.

Let's solve for C in the equation:
$f = \frac{9}{5}c + 32 \\ f - 32 = \frac{9}{5} c \\ c = \frac{5}{9} (f - 32)$

suppose Tomas buys a total of 30 baseball and football cards in week 5 . how many of each would he have to buy to keep the same

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

18 baseball cards
12 football cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The only relationship shown in the table is in week 1, where the ratio of baseball to football cards is ...

baseball : football = 9 : 6

In week 1, the total of these numbers is 15. You want the total in week 5 to be 30, double the total in week 1. So, Thomas needs to purchase double the numbers he purchased in week 1:

18 baseball cards
12 football cards

<em>Comment on the attachment</em>

This table came from another question you posted, a question with no content other than the table. The blue numbers are blanks in the original table that have been filled in so as to keep the same 3:2 proportion in each week. They appear to have no bearing on this question.

Fiona bought some socks that cost $4.95 for each pair and some belts that cost $6.55 each. Fiona spent $27.95 in all. Let a repr

Romashka [77]

The question lacks the total number of socks and belts altogether. Thsi value is necessary so that we can create another equation to solve the unknowns.

if assumed that a = b, the answer, a = b = 2.43 will not make sense since you cannot buy 43% of a pair of socks. Completely define the conditions so that the answer can be obtained.

by trial and error, 3 pair of socks and 2 belts would be a sensible answer

24% of 289 estimated using<br> a rate per 100

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The answer would be 40!

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating ~ rounding

I would round 24% (20%), and 289 (300).

using the formula:

$is/of \\$ = %/100,

I'm looking for "IS"

I multiply 20 (just 20, no percent) by 200 = 4000.

Then I divide by 100 to get the "IS".

That's how I got my answer!

Hope this helps!
