Answer:
No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly
Correct Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 2) = 30
Step 1: Distribute
4x + 2 = 30 
This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4
to x and 2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x
4x = 28 This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
x = 7 This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1

Let's find the correct answer to this equation:</h3><h3>4(x +2) = 30</h3>
Step 1: Distribute
Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.
4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)
= 4x + 8
4x + 8 = 30
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x
Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides (opposite operation of adding 8)
4x + 8 = 30
4x = 30 - 8
4x = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x
Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself
4x = 32
4(x) = 32
x = 32 ÷ 4
x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
42.5 or 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you need to travel 850 miles, and you can travel 20 miles per gallon, you should divide 850 by 20 to get the number of gas cans needed. In doing so, you get 42.5 gas cans, but since it may be asking for whole cans rather than part of a gas can, you might want to write 43 instead. If you were to round down to 42, you would not have enough gas to finish the trip, so you should round up to 43. So, it is up to you if you want to write 42.5 or 43.
Hope this helped somewhat! ;(
7. Straight lines are also = to 180°
If you look at the diagram, when you add the two angles together, they form a straight line.
Since the angles add up to 180°, you can do:
(x + 25)° + (4x + 5)° = 180°
x + 25 + 4x + 5 = 180 Combine like terms
5x + 30 = 180 Subtract 30 on both sides
5x = 150 Divide 5 on both sides
x = 30
We can first convert 9.5 into fraction :
9.5= 9 1/2
Then we can use deduction to find out the answer:
9 1/2 - 6 1/3
=19/2 - 19/3
We change it to the same denominator:
=19×3/6 - 19×2/6
= 57/6 - 38/6
= 19/6
Therefore there are 19/6 or 3 1/6 gallons left in the tank.
Hope it helps!
