Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7
3/5 or 60%.
2/3 hour is 40 minutes, so 1/3 is 20 minutes.
40 minutes have passed and 2/5 of the progress on the floor is complete. In 20 minutes, 1/5 of the work is complete. Add 20 minutes to 40 minutes to get 60 minutes, or an hour.
Because of this, we need to add the progress of 20 minutes and 40 minutes. 1/5+2/5=3/5.
Use the distributive property.
3(6 + x) = 24
18 + 3x = 24
3x = 6
x = 2
