So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.
Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49
What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+6+5x+10=64
3x+5x+6+10=64
8x+16=64
8x=64-16
8x=48
divide both sides by 8
x=6
The law of detachment<span> allows you to "detach" the hypothesis from the conclusion. If we know both that </span>p<span> and </span>p<span> → </span>q<span> to be true, then we may conclude that </span>q<span> is true.
So the answers is the fourth one: I</span>f p <span>→</span><span> q is a true statement and p is true, then q is true.</span>
