Given the problem below what mistake did Bob make in solving the equation? Bob and his friends paid $30 for 3 sandwiches and and

3 bottles of water.
-Each sandwich cost the same amount.
-The bottles of water cost $1.50 each.
The equation 3(x + 1.50) = 30 can be used to determine x, the cost of each sandwich. Bob solved the equation using these steps: 3(x + 1.50) =30
3x + 1.50 = 30
3x = 28.50
x = 9.50

Answer:

Bob forgot to distribute 3 to 1.50 in the parentheses

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob made the mistake in his first step.

In the equation 3(x + 1.50) = 30, the 3 has to be distributed to both x and 1.50.

But, Bob only distributed it to x, which led him to get the wrong answer.

So, Bob's mistake when solving was that he forgot to distribute the 3 to 1.50

At a baseball game, Carlton buys 2 hotdogs and 1 box of popcorn for $6.75. Manny buys 1 hotdog and 1 box of popcorn for $4.25. h
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1 Hot dog = $2.50; 1 Nacho = $3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  be the cost of 1 hotdog

let  y  be the cost of 1 nacho

6 x + 3 y = 24  (Equation 1)

8 x + 1 y = 23  (Equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3

2 x + y = 8   (Equation 3)

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 2

8 x − 2 x +y − y = 23 − 8

Simplifying

6 x = 15

1 Hot dog = $2.50

Substitute the value calculated above into Equation 1

15 + 3 y = 24

3 y = 9

1 Nacho = $3.00
