Tommy was trying to solve the system of a linear equation and a quadratic equation shown below. 2x – y = –1 x2 – 5x – y = –7 Tom

my had completed the following steps in his algebraic solution process but could not factor the resulting quadratic, x2 – 7x – 1, to complete the problem. Step I: y = 2x + 1 Step II: x2 – 5x – (2x + 1) = –7 Step III: x2 – 5x – 2x – 1 = –7 Step IV: x2 – 7x – 1 = –7 Determine the step in which Tommy made his mistake and justify your reasoning.

Solve the equation for x.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x+5) -3 =4

Add 3 to each side

sqrt(x+5) -3+3 =4+3

sqrt(x+5)  =7

Square each side

(sqrt(x+5))^2  =7^2

x+5 = 49

Subtract 5 from each side

x+5-5 = 49-5

x=44

A supplier delivers an order for 20 electric toothbrushes to a store. by accident, three of the electric toothbrushes are defect
evablogger [386]
<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>
