The work of a student to solve the equation 4(3x − 4) = 8 + 4x + 8 is shown below: Step 1. 4(3x − 4) = 8 + 4x + 8 Step 2. 7x − 8

= 16 + 4x Step 3. 7x − 4x = 16 + 8 Step 4. 3x = 24 Step 5. x = 8 In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step? (1 point) a Step 2, 12x − 16 = 16 + 4x b Step 2, 12x − 8 = 2(4 + 2x + 4) c Step 3, 7x − 4x = 16 − 8 d Step 3, 7x + 4x = 16 + 8

Answer:  Step 2, and correct would be a) Step 2, 12x − 16 = 16 + 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. 4(3x − 4) = 8 + 4x + 8

Step 2. 7x − 8 = 16 + 4x

Step 3. 7x − 4x = 16 + 8

Step 4. 3x = 24

Step 5. x = 8

The student first make an error in Step 2, it should be 4 multiply the number inside the parentheses, which would be 4(3x) + 4(-4) = 8 + 4x + 8. We get 12x - 16 = 16 + 4x, which is choice a.

ser-zykov [4K]

The sale price S (in dollars) of an item is given by the formula

S=L−rL , where L is the list price (in dollars) and r is the discount rate.

Since, S = L -rL

rL = L -S

r = \frac{L-S}{L}

r = 1-\frac{S}{L}

Since, the listed price of the shirt is $30, we have to find the discount rate.

Therefore, r = 1-\frac{S}{30} is the discount rate.

Answer:

(f + g)(3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = x² + 1

g(x) = x - 4

Required:

(f + g)(3)

SOLUTION:

✔️Find f(3) by substituting x = 3 into f(x) = x² + 1:

f(3) = (3)² + 1 = 9 + 1

f(3) = 10

✔️Find g(3) by substituting x = 3 into g(x) = x - 4:

g(3) = 3 - 4

g(3) = -1

✔️Find (f + g)(3):

(f + g)(3) = f(3) + g(3)

= 10 + (-1)

= 10 - 1

(f + g)(3) = 9

Area of a regular hexagon with a base of 10 and an apothem of 12
Katen [24]
 <span>Draw a regular hexagon. Connect the center to each of the six vertices. Thus, you have six triangles, each with base 10.. The apothem is the height of each triangle. Then the area of each triangle is (1/2)(10)(12) = 60. You have six triangles so the aarea of the hexagon is 6*60 = 360.</span>
