Answer:

He made a math error

Step-by-step explanation:

6 ounces of pistachios cost $7.50

take 7.50 / 6=1.25 per ounce ( not .80 per ounce)

Then 1.26 * 16 = 20.00 for 16 ounces

Answer: Commutative Property of Multiplication

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Commutative property is when two terms trade places.

(a · 3) × b = b × (a · 3)

Notice that (a · 3) switched places with b

A box contains 144 marbles, which are either red or blue. if there are 3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles in

kicyunya [14]

Given:
X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains 144 marbles.
SOLVING:
X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X = $\frac{144}{4}$
X = 36 ===> The blue marbles.

If there are 3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108 ===> The red marbles. SOLUTION

TESTING:
$36+108=144$
$\boxed{144}=\boxed{144}\quad\checkmark\ The\ value\ is\ correct.$
GOOD LUCK...!!!

How many solutions does the system formed by x - y = 3 and ay + 3a = 0 have for a non zero number a? Explain and show how you ge

dlinn [17]

Solve both equations for y:
$x-y=3 \ \ \ |-x \\
-y=-x+3 \ \ \ |\times (-1) \\
y=x-3 \\ \\
ay+3a=0 \ \ \ |-3a \\
ay=-3a \ \ \ |\div a, a \not= 0 \\
y=-3$

Set the expressions equal to each other:
$y=y \\ x-3=-3 \ \ \ |+3 \\
x=0 \\ \\
(x,y)=(0,-3)$

So, for every nonzero number a the system of equations has one solution.
