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.

Lily saved 16 coins. She saved ten-can and one-dollar coins only. If she had $5.20, how many ten-cent coins did she have?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes Lily saved. Then the value of her coins in cents is ...

  10d +100(16-d) = 520

  -90d +1600 = 520 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -90d = -1080 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600

  d = -1080/-90 = 12 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d

Lily has 12 ten-cent coins.
