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

Ten times the sum of half a number x and 8 is 12.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

BREAKDOWN

10 times: 10 ×

The sum of: ( ) + ( )

which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )

half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )

and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )

is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SIMPLIFICATION

Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12

which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12

bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12

Equals: 5x = 78

Find out X:. x = 78/5

FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9

A) Complete this prime factor tree:
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

2 * 2 * 3 * 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to write the value of 36 as a product of of prime factor

Factorizing 36;

2| 36

2| 18

3| 9

3| 3

| 1

Multiplying out all the factors;

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

Hence the prime factors of 36 are 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

The dimensions of a carriage are:
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length * width * height = 1050 cubic ft

(10x + 5)* (2x -1) * (x +3) = 1050

(10x + 5 )(2x-1) = 10x*(2x - 1) + 5*(2x -1)

                       = 10x*2x - 10x*1 + 5*2x  - 1*5

                       = 20x² - 10x + 10x - 5 = 20x²  - 5

(10x + 5)(2x -1)(x+3) = (20x² -5) *(x + 3)

                               =20x²*(x +3) - 5*(x +3)

                               = 20x³ + 60x² - 5x - 15

20x³ + 60x² - 5x - 15 = 1050

20x³ + 60x² - 5x - 15 - 1050 = 0

20x³ + 60x² - 5x - 1065 = 0

By trial and error method , (x  -3 ) is a factor

Synthetic method:

3     ( 20    60       -5           -1065

      (          60        360        1065

         20   120        355           0

20x² + 120x + 355 = 0

Divide the equation by 5

4x² + 24x + 71 = 0 . Solving this equation gives imaginary number. So, ignore these values.

So, value of x = 3

height = 3+ 3 = 6 ft

Length = 10*3 + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35ft

Width = 2x - 1 = 2*3 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 ft

Check: length * width * height = 35 * 5 * 6 = 1050 cubic ft
