Vinvika [58]2 years ago

She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.

Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).

Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6

A computer and printer cost total of $927 the cost of the computer is two times the cost of the planet find the cost of each ite
swat32

The cost of the printer is $309 and cost of the computer is $618.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the cost of computer

Let y denote the cost of printer

Total cost of printer and computer OR

x + y = $927

<u>To find the cost of x and y,</u>

Cost of computer = 2 x cost of the planet

x = 2y

x+y = 927

2y+y = 927

3y = 927

y = 309

x = 2y

x = 2(309)

x = 618

Therefore, the cost of the printer is $309 and cost of the computer is $618.

rusak2 [61]

Well to get to 32 hours and knowing for all 4 days, she worked the same number of hours.


All we have to do is multiply all these numbers by 4 to see which one is equal to 32.


6 * 4 = 28

10 * 4 = 40

8 * 4 = 32

4 * 4 = 16
