Frank solved an equation and got the result x = x. Sarah solved the same equation and got 12 = 12. Frank says that one of them i

s incorrect because you cannot get different results for the same equation. What would you say to Frank? If both results are indeed correct, explain how this happened.

Frank is incorrect. 
They could have solved the same equations and got what seems like different answers, however both the answers of x = x, and 12 = 12 mean that the equation has an infinite amount of solutions, or that the answer is all real numbers.

This could have happened because Sarah and Frank may have approached the same equation in different ways, meaning that one simplified or solved the equation with a different, but still correct, strategy.

Hope this helps! :)

David and Rob each got the same-size pack of crackers. David

Answer: Rob ate more crackers.

Symbol answer: 6/12 < 9/12

Step-by-Step explanation:

Common knowledge: Anytime you have the same numerator, with a different denominator, the one with the bigger denominator is always smaller. For example, if had a pizza with 6 slices and a pizza with 4 slices, the one with 6 slices and smaller and the one with 4 slices and bigger. Even though 6>4 that mindset has to change when thinking about a problem like this.

<em>Another explanation: </em>

<em>If you still don’t get it, simply find a common denominator, so we’ll choose 12. Take 3/6 and multiply that by 2/2 so you get 6/12 and then take 3/4 and multiply that by 3/3 on both the (numerator and denominator) and that equals 9/12.</em>

<em>So now you have the expression: 6/12<9/12.</em>

In a test (+4) marks are given for every correct answers and (-3) marks are given for every incorrect answers 1) Tahiya answered
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct = +4

Incorrect = -3

1) Tahiya got 12 correct answers and scored a 40, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*12-3I=40\\I=\frac{8}{3}\\I=2.67

2) Helmin got 5 correct answers and scored a -14, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*5-3I=-14\\I=\frac{34}{3}\\I=11.33

In both cases the number of incorrect answers obtained is a fraction, which means that either the data provided is inaccurate, or that the scores obtained by the students are approximate. Let's round the number of incorrect answers to the nearest whole answer.

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.
