Answer:
(a) Step 2. 9x -12 = 13 +2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property says a factor outside parentheses multiplies each term inside parentheses. It is an error to do addition of the factor, or to miss multiplying a term.
In Step 2 of this "solution", the factor of 3 is erroneously <em>added</em> to each coefficent inside parentheses. It should be <em>multiplied</em>.
Correct Step 2: 9x -12 = 13 +2x
__
The rest of the solution should be ...
Step 3: 9x -2x = 13 +12
Step 4: 7x = 25
Step 5: x = 25/7
___
<em>Check</em>
3(3(25/7) -4) = 8 + 2(25/7) +5
3((75 -28)/7) = 13 +50/7
141/7 = 141/7 . . . . . answer checks OK
To do this, first divide 85 by 10
You get 8.5
Then, divide 391 by 8.5
You get 46
Therefore, 46 students are left-handed in Tom's school.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
Infinite number of solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Are the equations written correctly? They are identical. Since they overlap, every point is a solution for as long as the lines reach. Since no one is stopping them, the answers are infinite.
