Answer:

  • incorrectly; used 1 in the division instead of -1
  • incorrectly; evaluated higher powers of -1 incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

The result each should have obtained is ...

  a +10 = 17

  a = 7

Braulio's mistake was in using 1 as his divisor instead of -1. His bottom row should have been 1, 4, a-4, 1-a, a +10.

Zahra's mistake was improperly evaluating higher powers of -1. Her evaluation should have been 1 -5 +a +3 +11 = a +10.

Two equations are given below:
Yuri [45]
You can solve this question by equating the two linear systems (by "substitution" or "elimination")

By substitution
-Take Equation 2 and substitute it in Equation 1
you will have (b-2) - 3b= 16 => -2b=18 => b=-9
-Then, take b=-9 and substitute it in one of the equations( it doesn't really matter )
For eg substituting in equation 2 yields a=-11

Final ans: C where (a,b) is (-11,-9)

How much greater is the weight of the large box at 3/4lb than the small box at <br> 1 1/8lbs
spin [16.1K]
Well, is just their difference, let's first convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{8}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{9}{8}-\cfrac{3}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is then 8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 9)~~-~~(2\cdot 3)}{8}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{9-6}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}
