Answer: Forgot to divide at the end

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out your friend's error, solve the equation yourself.

  1. Distribute the 5 to get 25x+30
  2. Combine like terms in the first equation toget 25x-3=25x+30
  3. Add 3 to the other side.

When we do this, we realize adding 3 would make it 33. This shows that the friend likely forgot to divide by 25 to completely isolate x, and stopped at that step.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1:  x = 6

x = 0

2: x = 6

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Pulling out like terms :

2.1     Pull out like factors :

  x2 - 6x  =   x • (x - 6)  

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 x • (x - 6)  = 0  

Step  3  :

Theory - Roots of a product :

3.1    A product of several terms equals zero.  

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately  

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product  

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.2      Solve  :    x = 0  

 Solution is  x = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.3      Solve  :    x-6 = 0  

Add  6  to both sides of the equation :  

                     x = 6

2: Same thing

Hope this helps

The perimeter of a rectangle is 46cm. The length is 13 cm. What is the width?
gladu [14]
1.) 2 sides are already gonna be 13 so you already have 26 is you add up both those sides.  13+13=26
2.)Subtract 26 from 46 to get the sum of both the widths added together.
    46-26=20
3.)Divide 20 by 2 so that you can get the width on one side of the rectangle.              20 / 2 = 10
4.) The width of the rectangle above is 10
                                                I hope this helps :)

Geometry Help! 30 POINTS! + BRAINLIEST
Triss [41]
SRT = 20   => STR = 20.
Since STR and STU are supplementary angles, STU = 180 - STR = 180 - 20 = 160, means x = 40.
