Answer:

In Step 2, 90 should be multiplied by the quantity 10 – 12, not by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

90\cdot x-90\cdot 12 when x=10

Solve the above expression as shown:

Step 1:

90\cdot x-90\cdot 12=90(x-12)

Step 2: Substitute x=10.

90\cdot x-90\cdot 12=90(10-12)

Step 3: Open the parenthesis.

90\cdot x-90\cdot 12=900-1080

Step 4: Simplify

90\cdot x-90\cdot 12=-180

From the above calculation we can say that the error is:

In Step 2, 90 should be multiplied by the quantity 10 – 12, not by 10.

A woman walks due west on the deck of a ship at 3 mi/h. The ship is moving north at a speed of 22 mi/h. Find the speed and direc
Minchanka [31]

Answer: The speed is 22.2 mi/hr and woman is 8° north relative to the surface of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed at which woman walks due west = 3 mi/hr

Speed at which ship moving due north = 22 mi/hr

Now it forms "Pythagorus theorem":

So, it becomes,

H^2=B^2+P^2\\\\H^2=3^2+22^2\\\\H^2=9+484\\\\H^2=493\\\\H=\sqrt{493}\\H=22.20\ mi/hr

And the direction of the woman relative to the surface of the water is given by

\theta=\sin^{-1}x(\dfrac{3}{22.2})=7.76\approx 8^\circ

Hence, the speed is 22.2 mi/hr and woman is 8° north relative to the surface of the water.

Micheal has been awarded a pay rise of 4%.His salary is £ 24 492 <br> What was his apart before?
Nesterboy [21]
Because there was a pay rise, we can write the equation as x+0.04x = 24.492 and solve for x.

x+0.04x = 24.492
1.04x = 24.492
x=23.55

His original pay was £23.55
