Answer:

B) She is incorrect because when substituting 2 for m the result was a false statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it for ourselves and see if Mia is correct:

7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8)

7.8+1.5m+0.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

1.5m+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

8.6=-5.9m-3.2

11.8=-5.9m

-2=m

m=-2

Since the answer is actually m=-2, Mia's guess is incorrect because plugging in m=2 does not make both sides equal. Therefore B is the correct option.

The current average property value is two-sevenths more than last year’s average value. What was last year’s average property va

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$63350$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the current average property value is two-sevenths more than last year’s average value.

Let x be the last year's average property

Then we have as per the given information this year property value

= $x+\frac{2}{7} x$

Equate this to

$x+\frac{2}{7} x=81450\\9x = 7(81450)\\x = 7(9050)\\x= 63350$

Y= x^2 -5 solve for x

dexar [7]

$Y= x^2 -5$

We need to solve for x, we need to get x alone

$Y= x^2 -5$

Lets start by removing -5

Add 5 on both sides

$y + 5= x^2 -5 + 5$

$y + 5= x^2$

Now to isolate x , we need to remove the square from x

To remove square , take square root on both sides

$+-\sqrt{y+5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square root will get cancelled

$+-\sqrt{y+5} = x$

So $x = +\sqrt{y+5}$ and $x = -\sqrt{y+5}$
