Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4x + 24x - 2 = 7(4x +2)

First step is to expand the parenthesis on the left hand side by multiplying each term inside the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis. It becomes

4x + 24x - 2 = 28x + 14

Collecting like terms such that the terms containing x will be on the lefthand side and constant terms will be on the right hand side, it becomes

28x - 28x = 14 + 2

0 = 16

0 cannot be equal to 16. Therefore, there is no solution.

The likely error of my friend was

28x - 28x = x

If I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work then how many different outfits ca
34kurt

105 different outfits can wear on an individual day

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work

To find: Number of different outfits can I wear on an individual day

First he has to decide on a pair of pants and he has 5 different choices

For each of those choices he has a choice of 7 different button down shirts, so that gives him 5 x 7 = 35 different pant/shirt combinations

For each of those 35 different pant/shirt combinations, he has 3 pairs of shoes he could select, so altogether he has 35 x 3 = 105 different outfits

In short we can say,

different outfits = 7 x 5 x 3 = 105

So there 105 different outfits can wear on an individual day
