The error in the given equation is that the product of 24 and x is equal to 8

while the original product according to sentence is of 8 and x which is equal to 24

Step-by-step explanation:

we will convert the given sentence into equation to compare it with the given equation.

Let x be the number

Then

"8 multiplied by a number x."

$8x$

"24 is 8 multiplied by a number x."

24 is a product of 8 and x so

$8x = 24$

The error in the given equation is that the product of 24 and x is equal to 8

while the original product according to sentence is of 8 and x which is equal to 24

x/6 = 4 , r/7 = -1 , -x/11 = 10 , x/4 = 5/6 i totally forgot how to do these problems, it'd be lovely if someone could help me o

Answer:

1. x = 24

2. r = -7

3. x = - 110

4. x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x/6 = 4 => x = 6 · 4 = 24

2. r/7 = -1 => r = -1 · 7 = -7

3. -x/11 = 10 => -x = 11 · 10 = 110 => -x = 110 / ·(-1)

Now we will multiply the both sides with (-1) and get

x = -110

4. x/4 = 5/6 It's the same as proportion x : 4 = 5 : 6

Now we will multiply external and internal members and get

6 x = 4 · 5 => 6 x = 20 => x = 20/6

Now we reduce the numerator and the fractional denominator with the number two and get

x = 10/3

God with you!!!
