Answer:
b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is correct up to the step 2x = 6x
2x = 6x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
0 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 0
You cannot divide both sides by x since x could be zero, and in fact, it is.
Answer: b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.
Answer:
Independent. The spins do not have any connections nor do the players.
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't see a b or an m in this function, but generally, a linear function is of the form ax+b. The b in this equation (not sure if it is the same as your b), controls the shift of the function. Lower b by 3, the graph shifts down by 3.
So unless there is a minus sign before b, it has to be lowered by 3. (If there is a minus sign, it has to be increased by 3).
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
thanks
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
