Let x be the number.
Then the equation can be written as
3 -2x = x +8
<span>Stephen and Aaron solved the same equation using two separate methods. Their work is shown in the table below:
Stephen Aaron:
3x - 2 = 5x - 6 3x - 2 = 5x - 6
3x - 2 + 2 = 5x - 6 + 2 3x - 3x - 2 = 5x - 3x - 6
3x = 5x - 4 -2 = 2x - 6
3x - 5x = 5x - 5x - 4 -2 - 6 = 2x
-2x = -4 -8 = 2x
x = 2 -4 = x
Identify who made the error and what he did wrong.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
Aaron made the error when he subtracted 3x.
Stephen made the error when he added 2.
Stephen made the error when he subtracted 5x.
answer:
</span>In the Aaron`s work:
- 2 = - 2 x - 6
and after that:
- 2 - 6 = 2 x
It should be:
- 2 + 6 = 2 x
or: - 2 + 6 = 2 x - 6 + 6
Answer:
A ) Aaron made the error when he subtracted 6.
You divide 475 by 1000 because you need to distribute 475 apples to 1000 tarts... Answer is 0.475 pounds of apples in each tart
