For this case we have the following expression:
 4x - 2x + 8 = 6 (x + 4)
 The first step is:
 4x - 2x + 8 = 6x + 24
 The first step is, correct.
 However, the justification "Combine like terms" is NOT correct.
 The correct justification is:
 Distributive property of multiplication.
 Answer:
 
A step that has an incorrect justification is:

Jean transformed a point by using the rule (x,y)(x-6,y+8) the image point is (-4,1) which point is the pre image
Xelga [282]

To find the pre image you need to back track on the image. To get to the image you used (x-6,y+8). Now you need to use the exact opposite to get back to the pre image. For this you would change the signs to look like (x+6,y-8). Now we just apply this to (-4,1).

(-4+6,1-8)

(2,-7) should be the pre image point.

Kyra observed that 85% of the students at a library liked reading mystery stories. If 30 students at the library did not like re
boyakko [2]
First  calculate that numeric value. It cannot be done immediately without calculations.

if 85% of studends liked mystery that means that 100% - 85% = 15% didnt like.

Those 15% are 30 that were given in text. Now we can calculate this using proportion:

15%        30 students
85%         x students

we use cross multiplication:
15*x = 30*85
x = 30*85/15
x = 170

Answer is 170
