Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
You have to divide the two numbers, which will give you 1.5151515151... So if you round It will give you: 1.51
Answer:The second answer there are 3 kids and one adult and the ratio would be 3:1 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C (-2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
−2x − y = 3 (1)
−9x − y = 17 (2)
(1) y = -2x - 3
(2) y = -9x - 17
-2x - 3 = -9x - 17
7x = -14
x = -2
y = -2(-2) - 3
y = 4 - 3
y = 1
