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.

Calculate the length of a triangle if another length is 15 feet and the hypotenuse is 39 feet.
Y_Kistochka [10]
We have to use Pythagorean theorem that says : 

a^2+b^2=c^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+15^2=39^2\\a^2=39^2-15^2\\a=\sqrt{1296}\\a=36

The missing length of the triangle is : 36 feet
