Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Leonardo is solving the equation 4 (x minus one-fifth) = 2 and two-thirds. His work is shown. Where is his error?

Given :

4(x - 1/5) = 2 2/3

Open the bracket

4x - 4/5 = 2 2/3

Add 4/5 to both sides

4x - 4/5 + 4/5 = 8/3 + 4/5

Lcm of 3 and 5 = 15

4x = (40 + 12) / 15

4x = 40/15 + 12/15

4x = 52/15

Multiply by 1/4

4x * 1/4 = 52/15 * 1/4

x = 52 / 60

x = 13 / 15

Hence, the error is in step 3

15/5 * 3 = 12

A group of 6 students is surveying their classmates to get feedback about different clubs they're involved in. If each surveys m

galben [10]

Answer:

The domain would be given by <u>D = {X ≥ 2} X = [2, Z].</u> Since the variable Z is the number of children in the school. And the 6 children should not survey the same person, it would be Z / 6 for each interviewer.

Step-by-step explanation:

- If the group of children surveys more than 2 classmates, it means that the number with which the survey begins is 12 students.

And since the maximum number of students in the school is given by the variable of Z, then Z is the number with which the domain closes.

The rank would be given by the set of [2, Z]

Z / 6 being the maximum number of children surveyed by 1 interviewer.

Julian fully simplifies this polynomial and then writes it in standard form. 4x2y2 – 2y4 – 8xy3 + 9x3y + 6y4 – 2xy3 – 3x4 + x2y2

Given that the last term is -3x^4, the polynomila is ordered in descending order of the exponent of x. Then, the first term is that where y is with the highest exponent, that is y^4

Simplify the terms with y^4: -2y^4 + 6y^4 = 4y^4

Then the first term is 4y^4

9. GIVEN: y(x + 1) = 51; y = 3 PROVE: x = 16

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

y(x + 1) = 51 ← substitute y = 3 into the equation

3(x + 1) = 51 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x + 1 = 17 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = 16
