Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
470/7= 67.14......
67.14 was her fee
67.14 * 1.5 = 100.71
100.71 is her hourly rate
5,3..........................................
The pattern is that every 2 numbers are a pair, the first being any selected number, and the second number next to is the number times 3.
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 3 =12
7 x 3 = 21
Therefor we type 16 x 3 = 48
48 is your next number.
