OPTION C is the correct answer.
Answer:
39. r = 13.4
40. m = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
39. Given the equation,
, to solve for r, the following are the correct steps to take to arrive at the solution:
(given)
Add 0.8 to both sides of the equation (addition property of equality)
(this is where the error occurred.)

40. The correct steps to take in solving the equation,
is as follows:
(given)
Multiply both sides by 3 (multiplication property of equality)

(this is where the error occurred. This is what we should have at this line/step)
(dividing both sides by -1)
3x - 10 = x + 4 <== ur equation
three times a number.....3x...with the x representing the number
ten less....3x - 10
is the same as...means =
that number (x) increased by 4....x + 4
so we have 3x - 10 = x + 4...
3x - 10 = x + 4
3x - x = 4 + 10
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7....and that number is 7
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(3/4)/2
3/4*2
3/2
6.4.. Unless you need it in a fraction..
