The work of a student to solve a set of equations is shown below: Equation 1: x + 2y = 10 Equation 2: 2x + 5y = 15 Step 1: −2(x

+ 2y) = −2(10) 2x + 5y = 15 Step 2: −2x − 4y = −10 2x + 5y = 15 Step 3: 1y = 5 Step 4: x + 2(1) = 10 Step 5: x = 8 In which step did the student first make an error?

 −2x − 4y = −10 2x + 5y = 15

Answer:

Step 2 has error and step 4 has error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can see that elimination method is  applied to solve the  system  of equations  for which -2 is multiplied both sides of equation first

-2(x+2y)=-2(10 which is correct

but in step 2

left side is -2x-4y and the right side is -10 which has to be -20 which makes this step wrong and this is the error made by student.

in Step 4 also ,value of the y has to be 5 but student plugged y =1 which is also error by student.

Correct solution is

    -2x-4y= -20

      2x+ 5y= 15

on adding ,we get

 y = -5

plugging y =5 in equation x+2y= 10 ,we get x+2(-5) =10 ,we get x = 20

therefore (20,-5) is the  solution

If x equals 7, then find the matching value for y.<br> -2x-2y=-2
mihalych1998 [28]
Y = -6.
-2(7)-2y=-2

-14-2y=-2

you need to move -14 to the other side by canceling out -14 with +14, and add +14 to -2, giving you -2y=12. -2/12=-6

The lumberyard where you work sold a customer two boards . They measure 10 1/4 feet and 8 2/4 feet what is the total of the two
Lelechka [254]
If you add the two numbers, 10 +8 is 18.  The fractional parts are 1/4 and 2/4 which equals 3/4.  So the total length is 18 and 3/4 feet.
