e fifths blocks east of​ school, they give her house the coordinate 1 and three fifths . Chase incorrectly claims that the coordinate of his house is 3 and one tenth . What is the correct coordinate of Chase​'s ​house? What is Chase​'s likely​ error?

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line is a line which contains numbers marked at intervals (usually regular intervals). Points to the right of the origin are positive numbers while those to the left are negative numbers.

The school is used as the origin. Ellie house is 1 and three fifths blocks east (to the right) of the school. This means that it is + 1 and three fifths (+8/5).

Chase house is 1 and one half blocks (3/2) west of Ellie. Since it is west then it is to the left. Hence the coordinate of chase house = 8/5 - 3/2 = 1/10

Hence the coordinate of chase house is 1/10(one tenths).

The error may be as a result of thinking chase house is to the east of Ellie, hence adding to get  3 and one tenth.

5y = 3478 - 3c if the equation above, c is a constant. If y = 8 is a solution to the equation, what is the value of c?
docker41 [41]
What you would do is simply plug in 8 where y is and solve.
5(8)=3478-3c -Times 5 by 8
40=3478-3c  -Add 3c to the opposite side of the equal sign
40+3c=3478  -Subtract 40 from the opposite side of the equal sign
3c=3438  -Divide equation by 3
 c=1146

Hope this helps! :)
