Marcel and Floyd are playing games at an arcade. Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only p

laying $0.75 games. Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining. Jorge’s work is shown below.
Let x = the number of games played.

Equation: 8.25 minus 0.25 x = 9.75 minus 0.75 x. Step 1: negative 1.50 minus 0.25 x = negative 0.75 x. Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x. Step 3: negative 3 = x.


Jorge knows his answer is incorrect because it does not make sense to have a negative number of games. What is Jorge’s error?
The variable x should represent the amount of money left.
From Step 1 to Step 2, Jorge did not add 0.25x correctly to both sides.
The equation should have sums on both sides.
From Step 2 to Step 3, Jorge should have subtracted 0.50x from both sides.

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

What is the solution to the equation 5x = 40?
Dima020 [189]
To find X, we can divide 5 into 40.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Now we can do 5 x 8. That is 40.

X=40

OR we can do it another way.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Cross out 5 divided by 5.

Now we have 8. Still.
X is 8

The odds against Carl beating his friend in a round of golf are 9:7. Find the probability that Carl will lose?
grandymaker [24]

The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

  • Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
  • Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Answer: Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Please help me with this
sesenic [268]
Ok so the average is 50

average of x number of things is
(add value of all things)/x=average

4 test scores needed
so divide by 4
3 test scores ar known
average is 50
x= missing score

(43+48+42+x)/4=50
times 4 both sides
133+x=200
minus 133 both sides
x=67

a score of 67 is needed
