Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x
Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x
On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6
Total pages are = 458
The equation becomes:
So on the third day, Aiden read pages.
Carlos made the mistake that he did not combine like terms (3 x and 2 x) properly and did not use addition property of equality.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Carlos did the work as 3 x + 2 x - 6 = 24
We need to find his mistake that he made in above given.
Here, he did not add the like terms (3 x and 2 x)
3 x + 2 x = 5 x
Therefore, his work should be
5 x - 6 = 24
Also, he did not use addition property of equality. It means the equation remains same even though the same number gets added on both sides. It would be
5 x - 6 = 24
+ 6 = + 6
-----------------------
5 x = 30
Dividing 30 by 5, we get answer as '6'. Hence,
= 6
So, stated the above two are the mistakes found in carlos work.
Answer:
2x + 3y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
obtain the equation in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
here m = - and c = 2
y = - x + 2 ← in slope-intercept form
multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fraction
3y = - 2x + 6 ( add 2x to both sides )
2x + 3y = 6 ← in standard form
