4(3x-8)=4
12x-32=4
12x=36
x=3

i'd say x=3 because,

if you do 3 times 3, it equals 9. Then you subtract 8 from it, which gives you 1. And the numbers you have left over are the four and the 1. The operation you have to do for that is multiplication, and 4x1=4.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Jake's error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} -6x+5=0$

Complete the square

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2} -6x=-5$

step 2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9$

$x^{2} -6x+9=4$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-3)^{2}=4$

Jake's error in step 3

He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side

step 4

take square root both sides

$\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =\sqrt{4}$

step 5

$(x-3)=\pm2$

step 6

$x=3\pm2$

step 7

x=5 and x=1

If the difference between a number and 21 is divided by2, the result is 4 times the number. What is the number

Ostrovityanka [42]

(n-21)/2=4n is the equation

First, divide what is in the parentheses by 2
0.5n-10.5=4n

Then, multiply the whole equation by 2 so we have all whole numbers
n-21=8n

Move N so that it is with 8n
7n=-21

Divide 21 by 7
n=-3

Solution: The number (n) is equal to -3

The Kellys are saving up to go on a family vacation in 2 years. They invest $3200 into an account with an annual interest rate o

ryzh [129]

Answer:

$3,273.14

Step-by-step explanation:

-We first calculate the effective interest rate of 1.13% compounded daily:

$i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.0113/365)^{365}-1\\\\=0.011363909$

#Now, we calculate the compounded amount after 2 years using this rate:

$A=P(1+i)^n\\\\=3200(1.011363909)^2\\\\\\=3273.14$

Hence, the compounded amount after 2 years is $3,273.14
