Identify and EXPLAIN the ERROR

Mathematics
1 answer:
AveGali [126]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Error: Sariah treated every term as though it were an x-term. 5 and -4.5 are constants that cannot be combined with the x-terms. They can only be combined with each other.

Correct solution: 31x + 0.5

Strategy: Pay attention to the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her first step, it appears Sariah added 13x and 5 to get 18x. These terms are not <em>like terms</em>, so cannot be added in this way. An appropriate strategy is to first identify all the terms with the same <em>variables</em> (x in this case), then add their <em>coefficients</em>.

... = x(13 +17 +1) +5 -4.5

Likewise, all the <em>constant</em> terms can be added.

... = 31x +(5 -4.5)

... = 31x + 0.5

Since x=months,

50x=y

Where x is the number of months times the monthly charge. Y is just the output, or end value.
