Mathematics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago
8 0

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

6) If the perimeter of the equilateral triangle ABC is x inches. The mid points of the sides are joined to form the smaller tria
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

Nolan and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $8 worth of apples
goldfiish [28.3K]

Nolan and his children bought fruits (Apples and bananas) worth $8.

Cost of each apple and bananas are $2 and $0.40 respectively.

Let the number of bananas he bought = y

And the number of apples = x

Therefore, cost of the apples =$2x

And the cost of bananas = $0.40y

Total cost of 'x' apples and 'y' bananas = $(2x + 0.40y)

Equation representing the total cost of fruits will be,

(2x + 0.40y) = 8

10(2x + 0.40y) = 10(8)

20x + 4y = 80

5x + y = 20 --------(1)

If he bought 5 times as many bananas as apples,

y = 5x ------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1),

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2)

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Therefore, Nolan bought 2 apples and 10 bananas.
