Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7
I think the pattern is that you multiply the first number by the second , then add the first number. SO:
e.g. for the first one 1 x 4 = 4 , 4 + 1 = 5
for the second one 2 x 5 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12...
So for 8+11:
you do 8 x 11 = 88 , 88 + 8 = 96
Y+4=10(x+3)
Y+4=10x+30
Y=10x+26
Answer:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the parabola is given by
Comparing this equation with vertex form of a parabola , where (h,k) is the vertex
h = 2
k = 3
Hence, vertex is (2,3)
Now, axis of symmetry of a parabola passes through the vertex and divide the parabola in two equal halves.
Hence, axis of symmetry of the parabola is given by
x = h
x = 2
Third option is correct.
