Answer:
x= -2 and y= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5y=24-------A
y=-4x---------B
Putting the value of y from B in A
8x+5(-4x)=24
8x +(-20x)= 24
8x-20x=24
-12x=24
x= -24/12
x=-2--------C y =-4(-2)=8
Answer:
A: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hopefully this helps!
Carlos made the mistake that he did not combine like terms (3 x and 2 x) properly and did not use addition property of equality.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Carlos did the work as 3 x + 2 x - 6 = 24
We need to find his mistake that he made in above given.
Here, he did not add the like terms (3 x and 2 x)
3 x + 2 x = 5 x
Therefore, his work should be
5 x - 6 = 24
Also, he did not use addition property of equality. It means the equation remains same even though the same number gets added on both sides. It would be
5 x - 6 = 24
+ 6 = + 6
-----------------------
5 x = 30
Dividing 30 by 5, we get answer as '6'. Hence,
= 6
So, stated the above two are the mistakes found in carlos work.
32. 15.99 x .40 = 6.40
15.99 - 6.40 = 9.59
80/ 9.59 = 8.34
Jenny can buy A. 8 CD’s with her $80
31. 5,000 x .10 = 500
5,000 - 500 = 4,500
4,500 x .15 = 675
4,500 + 675 = 5,175
Ben will earn C. $5,175 after one year one the job
19.5 because 6 minus 5.5 is equal to 0.5 and if you just add 0.5 to 19.5 it will be 19.5
