Answer:
B. The student did not properly apply the addition property to isolate x

Explanation:
When given an equation to solve, always remember that when you do an external operation (add/subtract/multiply a term or divide by a term) on one side of the equation, the same operation should be applied on the other side in order to maintain the equality of the equation.

Now, let's take a look on the steps done:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
3 = -x

Now, note n step 2, the student wanted to get rid of the 2 next to the x, therefore, he subtracted 2. However, the student did not subtract the 2 from the other side of the equation. Since we're taking addition (we're adding a -2), therefore, the student incorrectly applied the addition property to isolate the x.

The correct steps would be as follows:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 - 2 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
1 = - x

Hope this helps :)

The equation of a parabola is shown.
WARRIOR [948]
The axis of symmetry for this parabola is the x-axis. The general form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2
where the focus has the coordinates of (h+p,k)

Manipulating the given equation to the general form:
4(1/3)(x-7)^2 = (y - 0)^2

Therefore the coordinates of the focus is:
(7+(1/3),0)

The answer is A.) (71/3,0)

At a grocery store, an uncooked beef roast is on sale for $4.99/lb. At the same store, prepared roast beef is at the deli for $2
Mrrafil [7]
For us to find out how many times more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast we need to change the units;
cost of 100g=0.221lb is $2.99
cost of 1 lb will therefore be:
1/0.221*2.99
=$13.53/lb
therefore the number of times more expensive the deli roast is compared to uncooked roast is:
[price of 1lb roasted meat]/[price of 1 lb uncooked meat]
=13.53/4.99
=2.7 times
