Answer:
B. The student did not properly apply the addition property to isolate x
Explanation:
When given an equation to solve, always remember that when you do an external operation (add/subtract/multiply a term or divide by a term) on one side of the equation, the same operation should be applied on the other side in order to maintain the equality of the equation.
Now, let's take a look on the steps done:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
3 = -x
Now, note n step 2, the student wanted to get rid of the 2 next to the x, therefore, he subtracted 2. However, the student did not subtract the 2 from the other side of the equation. Since we're taking addition (we're adding a -2), therefore, the student incorrectly applied the addition property to isolate the x.
The correct steps would be as follows:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 - 2 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
1 = - x

Answer:
-3
4 - 7 = -3.
-3 + 7 = 4.
They are in a fact family.
The answer is -3.

Answer:
factor out 1/4 from the expression
1/4x(1-3x)
Answer:
The first one..
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
