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

One number is one-fifth of another number. The two numbers total 18. Find the numbers
Masja [62]

Answer:

One number is 17 and the other is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m and n.  Let m = (1/5)n.  Note that m+n = 18.

Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18.  Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85.  m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.

2. A line passes through points (-1,-2) and (1,4). What is the equation of the line? TI​
Simora [160]
Slope = "rise over run" the difference in y values divided by the difference in x values
= 6/-3 = -2 = m. It's negative because as x increases, y decreases

plug that into the point slope formula, with either point. generally use the most simple point
y-h= m(x-k) where m= -2 and (k,h) = (2,-2)

y+2 = -2(x-2)

simply if you want

Y = -2x +4 -2 = -2x +2

or

2x +y = 2

1. When a cannonball is fired, the equation of its pathway can be modeled by h = -1612 + 128t.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 256m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a pathway modelled as pathway can be modeled by h = -16t² + 128t

At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero.

velocity = dh/dt

velocity = -32t + 128

Since v = 0 at maximum height

0 = -32t+128

32t = 128

t = 128/32

t = 4seconds

The maximum height can be gotten by substituting t = 4 into the modelled equation.

h = -16t² + 128t

h = -16(4)²+128(4)

h = -16(16)+512

h = -256+512

h = 256m

7. You are finding the area of the box. Not the cube, just a surface. Length times width of the surface. Eliminate other numbers and multiply

24.5×19.5

then

26×24.5

8. You are doing the same thing almost. Word problems are scary, but look for the numbers.

4inch ×8inch × 12inch

Find the volume
Multiply the volume by 3, that'd one answer
Devide the ORIGINAL volume by 2. don't divide the volume you multiplied by 3.
