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.

Reggie, Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin a
lorasvet [3.4K]
From the given, we expressed the time that each of the team members ran in mathematical expression.
 
                Reggie = 57.12 seconds
                 Alvin = 57.12 + 2.45 seconds = 59.57 seconds
                 Jose = 57.12 - 3.81 seconds = 53.31 seconds
We then sum up all the time we calculate to determine the total time for the team. The answer is therefore 170 seconds.

Make x the subject of h = 4(x + 3y) + 2<br>​
ratelena [41]
H = 4(x + 3y) + 2
H = 4x + 12y + 2
H - 12y - 2 = 4x
(H - 12y - 2) / 4 = x or 1/4H - 3y - 1/2 = x

-11 minus 5b = -6b minus 3
LiRa [457]

Answer:

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-11 - 5b = -6b - 3

add 11 to both sides:

-5b = -6b + 8

add 6b to both sides:

-5b + 6b = 8

simplify:

b = 8
