Mathematics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago

Answer:

C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.

3 = x/2 - 5

Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.

8 = x/2

What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.

What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)

Correct Step 2:

Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.

x = 16

Incorrect Step 2:

8/2 = (x/2)/2

4 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).

16 = x

Answer: 6,800,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the number of people, not the percentage of wealth that has been made up by the people.

2% of the people are the richest in the United States, and there are 340,000,000 people in total in the United States.

2% = 0.02

340,000,000 * 0.02 = 6,800,000

I hope this was helpful! :)

We have four two cards in 52 cards and four ten cards in the same playing cards 
to get our first four cards we choose one from the whole set of 52 cards
but to get the next card with ten we choose them out of 51 because we took the first card with value two and we have not replaced it
this gives us

HELP ME QUICK: Suppose AB has one endpoint at A(0, 0). If (5, 3) is the midpoint of AB, what are the coordinates of point B?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

<h3>           B(10, 6)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If P is midpoint of AB and:  A(0,\,0)\,,\quad P(5,\,3)\,,\quad B(x_B,\,y_B)

then:

x_P-x_A=x_B - x_P\qquad\quad\ \wedge\qquad y_P-y_A=y_B - y_P\\\\ 5-0=x_B-5\qquad\quad\wedge\qquad 3-0=y_B -3\\\\ x_B=5+5\qquad\qquad\wedge\qquad\ \ y_B=3+3 \\\\ {}\quad x_B=10\qquad\qquad\wedge\qquad\qquad \ y_B=6
