ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in finding the x-intercept.

Mathematics
1 answer:
EastWind [94]4 years ago
3 0

The x-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept, we put y = 0 and to find the y-intercept we put x = 0

In the given method, x is put equal to zero instead of y as x-intercept had to be found.

Given equation is:

-2x+3y=12

-2x + 3(0) = 12\\-2x +0 = 12\\-2x = 12

Dividing both sides by -2

\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}\\x = -6

The x-intercept is -6

How do i solve for x with an equation that says 19 = x - 3
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: x = 22

Step-by-step explanation: Since x is unknown, we want to isolate it and determine what it equals. We know that x - 3 gives us 19, but we don't want to know what x - 3 is, just x. So we can add three to both sides of the equation, to get our answer and keep it balanced. As a result, we get x = 22

This figure represents the base of a fish tank that is 8 inches high.
Igoryamba

The volume of the fish tank is 408 in³

To solve the volume of the fish tank, we need to understand what is the volume of plane shapes.

<h3>What is the volume of plane shapes?</h3>

The volume of plane shapes resembles a 3-dimensional space showing the area enclosed by the shape.

From the figure given:

The figure can be differentiated into two shapes;

  • A rectangle
  • A triangle

The volume of the rectangle is known as:

  • = Length × Breadth
  • = 7 inches × 6 inches
  • = 42 inches²

The volume of the triangle is:

  • = 1/2 × base × height
  • = 1/2 × 3 × 6
  • = 9 inches²

The total volume of the base of the fish tank now is:

  • = 42 inches² + 9 inches²
  • = 51 inches²

Now, the volume of the fish tank is:

  • = Height × base of the fish tank
  • = 8 inches × 51 inches²
  • = 408 in³

Which equation is related to this equation? b + 17 = 52
Neporo4naja [7]

It would be d because you would subtract 52 from 17 to get the answer then add the number you got to 17 to get 52.

Problem page a delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. the large boxes weigh 45 pounds each, and the
marta [7]
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes

equation 1:  s+l=120
equation 2:  15s+45l=3300

solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.

-15(s+l=120) =  -15s-15l=-1800  add to equation 2.

-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300  = 30l=1500

30l=1500 , l=50

s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70
