Marcel made an error when he used the distributive property to solve the problem shown. Which sentence describes the error? In S

tep 2, 90 should be multiplied by the quantity 10 – 12, not by 10. 10 was substituted for x at the wrong step. In Step 1, the expression should be x(90 – 12) not 90(x– 12). There should be no parentheses in Step 1. It should be 90 • x – 12.

The picture with the complete question is attached below :

Answer:

In Step 2, 90 should be multiplied by the quantity 10 – 12, not by 10

Step-by-step explanation:

90 * x - 90 * 12 = 90(x - 12)

From the question, x = 10

Hence,

90(10 - 12)

(90* 10) - (90 * 12) - - - > correct evaluation

900 - 1080

= - 180

Hence, both values in the bracket, that is 10 and - 12 should be multiplied by 90. Not just 10 alone.

By graphing the system of constraints, find the values o f x and y that minimize the objective function.
svet-max [94.6K]

Graph the inequalities to find the vertices of the shaded region: (2, 3) and (8, 0).

Now, evaluate the the function C = x + 3y at those vertices to find the minimum value.

C = x + 3y at (2, 3)  ⇒  C = (2) + 3(3)   ⇒  C = 2 + 9   ⇒   C = 11

C = x + 3y at (8, 0)  ⇒  C = (8) + 3(0)   ⇒  C = 8 + 0   ⇒   C = 8

The minimum value occurs at (8, 0) with a minimum of C = 8

A large furniture company claims that 65% of all individuals who buy chairs from its stores choose wood chairs, 20% choose plast
Nataly [62]

Answer:

In the sample, 61% chose wooden chairs (4% less than that claimed by the company), 24.2% chose plastic chairs (4.2% more than that claimed by the company), and 14.8 % chose metal chairs (0.2% less than what the company claimed). Therefore, given that these are differences of less than 5%, we can affirm that these samples are consistent with what the company said.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a large furniture company claims that 65% of all individuals who buy chairs from its stores choose wood chairs, 20% choose plastic chairs, and 15% choose metal chairs, and to investigate this claim researchers collected data from a random sample of the companys customers, whose results were 305 wood, 121 plastic, and 74 metal, to determine if the data from the sample consistent with the companys claim the following calculations should be performed:

305 + 121 + 74 = 500

500 = 100

305 = X

305 x 100/500 = X

30,500 / 500 = X

61 = X

500 = 100

121 = X

121 x 100/500 = X

12,100 / 500 = X

24.2 = X

100 - 61 - 24.2 = X

39 - 24.2 = X

14.8 = X

Therefore, in the sample, 61% chose wooden chairs (4% less than that claimed by the company), 24.2% chose plastic chairs (4.2% more than that claimed by the company), and 14.8 % chose metal chairs (0.2% less than what the company claimed). Therefore, given that these are differences of less than 5%, we can affirm that these are samples that are consistent with what the company said.
