Answer: Choice B)
2x+5(2x+3) = 3
============================================
Reasoning:
We start with the second equation 2x+5y = 3
Since y = 2x+3 from the first equation, we can replace every copy of y with (2x+3). This replacement is valid because y and 2x+3 are the same.
So that's how we go from 2x+5y = 3 to 2x+5(2x+3) = 3
This replacement is done to get rid of the y variable, and it allows us to solve for x later on.
Do 7/8 divided by 3/16.
Multiply by the reciprocal of 3/16 which is 16/3
7/8 x 16/3= 112/24
Simplify by dividing by 8 on top and bottom
14/3
Change it into a mixed number
Answer is 4 2/3
Answer:
Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression of Jordan's work is
14(8+4x) = 6x-(5-11x)
In the first step, Jordan multiplied the numbers to remove the braces.
He multiplied 14(8+4x) wrong as 14*8 is 112 rather than 126and on the right hand side, he did not change the sign of 11x to positive as two negatives are positive when multiplied.
Hence,
Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.
They make 21 machine parts each hour because 756/36=21
