Answer: Please see explanation column for answer.

x= -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

from the attachment, Mai's solving is given as

1/3 (1/2x- 9) = 1/2 (x+18)

1/6x-3= 1/2x+9

1/4x-3=9

1/4x=12

x=48

Mai's error started when he subtracted wrongly 1/2 x from 1/6x which gave him 1/4 x instead of - 1/3 x.

Solving correctly, we have that

1/3(1/2x-9) = 1/2(x+18)

1/6x -3= 1/2x+ 9

taking like terms to like terms

1/6x-1/2x= 9+3

(1-3)/6x= 12

-2/6x= 12

-1/3x= 12

multiplying both sides by -3

-1/3x X -3 = 12 X -3

x= -36

What is 5(n-1)=2(n-4)-6
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

6n - 6 = 2 (n+1)

Simplify 2 (n+1)

6n - 6= 2n +2

Move all terms related to n to the left side of the equation

4n -6 =2

Move all terms not related to n to the right side of the equation

4n =8

Divide each term by 4 then simplify

n=2

mel-nik [20]

Answer: Marta worked 13 hours overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

1): You do 25 x 36 to get the amount of money she can make before she starts to make double.

36 x 25 = 900

2): Minus $900 from $1550

$1550 - $900 = $650

3): Divide $650 by $50

$650 / $50 = 13 hours worked overtime

Solve by completing the square:X^2+6x-12=0
Ira Lisetskai [31]
X² + 6x  -12 = 0
x = <u>-(6) +/- √((6)² - 4(1)(-12))</u>
                     2(1)
x = <u>-6 +/- √(36 + 48)</u>
                   2
x = <u>-6 +/- √(84)
</u>              2<u>
</u>x = <u>-6 +/- 2√(21)
</u>               2<u>
</u>x = -3 <u>+</u> √(21)
x = -3 + √(21)      x = -3 - √(21)
