Lydia is playing Galaxy 8RX. After three misses, the game is over. Last week, Lydia kept track of how long her games lasted. Hse

msde a line plot of her data. Lydia said,"My best time is 2 3/4 minutes longer than my worst time because 4 1/4-1 1/2=2 3/4. Is subtraction the correct operation to compare Lydia's best and worst times?Explain. Are Lydia's calculations accurate?Show how you know. In the line plot, what do the numbers Lydia subtracted represent? Does Lydia's conclusion make sense? How did you decide? If not, what can you do to improve her reasoning? ​

Answer:

Yes ; Yes ; Yes it makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Lydia used subtraction operator to define and establish a relationship between her best and worst game times ; Hence we could conclude that Lydia is correct as this gives the range between both times.

From the numbers given in the question as their is no graph attached :

4 1/4 - 1 1/2

17/4 - 3/2

(17 - 6) / 4

11 /4

= 2 3/4

The subtracted numbers represent the duration of each of the three times game was played ; Hence the numbers represents the game times.

Yes ; Her conclusion makes sense ; as she was able to deduce the range between her best and worst game time

If 1 is added to a number and the sum is tripled​, the result is 17 more than the number. Find the number
bearhunter [10]
Form an equation. Start by representing the number you want to find as X. Now add 1.
X + 1
Now we need to triple it. That basically means multiply X+1 by 3. You can write that as:
3 (X + 1)
Now we write out that the result is 17 more than the number we want to find. So set an equals sign up
3 (X + 1) =
And now write X + 17
3 (X + 1) = X + 17

Now we solve for X.
Firstly, let's get rid of the X on the right.
Remember, if we want to get rid of a number of variable on one side, we need to use opposites, and do the same to the other side of the equation.
In this case, we have a positive X on the right. To get rid of that, we subtract X from both sides. This will leave us with:
2x + 3 = 17
Now let's get rid of the +3 on the left. To do this, we subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
2x = 17 - 3
2x = 14
Now we just need to get X by itself. The 2 in front of the X multiplies X by 2. Therefore, to get X on its own, we need to divide 2x by 2, which just gives us 2.
We also need to divide the other side by 2, because if we do something on one side, we need to do something on the other too. So divide 14 by 2, and we get 7.
X = 7

But before we celebrate, let's double check the answer. Add 1 to 7. This gives us 8. Triple 8. This is 24. This should be 17 more than 7. So go, 24 - 17. And whaddya know - it's 7!

Someone please help, it was due yesterday UwU
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A - Where did Phillip make a mistake? Justify your answer using complete sentences.

Use order of operation (PEMDAS)

He should multiply 8 x 4 first

Part B - Solve the expression correctly in the space below.

(5 x 9) - 8 x 4

= 45 - 32

= 13

Part C - Use the same rules of order of operations to solve the expression (8-4) +9 x 3. Explain your steps as you solve it.

(8-4) + 9 x 3

Step 1:   4 + 9 x 3  (Subtract in the parenthesis first)

Step 2:   4 + 27   (Multiply 9 x 3)

Step 3:   31         (Add)

(x+3)^2+5=-28
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Description

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 2 solutions

b. 2 imaginary solutions

c. If the discriminant is positive, then it will have 2 real solutions as the square root of a positive number always equals a positive number. If the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation will have 2 imaginary solutions, as the square root of a negative number is always imaginary. If the discriminant equals 0, it will have only 1 real solution.
