Step-by-step explanation: When you add -5+4=-1, and when you subtract 2 from 4 it equals to 2, which gives you the second coordinates, this means that x+4 and y-2 is the answer.

Answer:

$10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50$ is the CORRECT equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.” Javier writes the equation { 10 + 2/3} where a is the tree’s age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Now here:

a: The tree’s age in years.

Also, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.”

⇒ 10 + two-thirds of that tree’s age = 50

$\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50$

But in the equation written by Javier, the the third fraction is NOT MULTIPLIED by the age of the tree a in Years.

So, the written equation by Javier is Incorrect.

Now, solving the written correct equation for the value of a, we get:

$\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50\\\implies (\frac{2}{3}) a = 40\\\implies a = 40 \times (\frac{3}{2}) = 60\\\implies a = 60$

Hence the correct age of the tree = 60 years

Solve the equation 6=2 (x+8) -5×

Mama L [17]

We have to isolate x. We can achieve that using inverse operations.

6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x
Simplify.
6 = 2x + 16 - 5x
Combine like terms.
6 = -3x + 16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-10 = -3x
Divide both sides by -3.
3 1/3 = x

x is equivalent to 10/3, 3.33 repeating, or 3 1/3.
