Bryce tried to solve an equation step by step. \qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3

Explanation

Given the steps taken by bryce as shown, we are to find where he made an error

$\qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&=3c+\dfrac53&\green{\text{Step } 1}\\\\ \\ 1&=3c&\blue{\text{Step } 2}\\\\ \\ \dfrac13&=c&\purple{\text{Step } 3}\\\\ \end{aligned}$

Given the expression;

$\dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\$

Step 1:Expand the bracket using the distributive law;

8/3 = 3c + 3(5/3)

<em>Simplify</em>

8/3 = 3c + 15/3

Step 2: Subtract 15/3 from both sides

8/3 - 15/3 = 3c+15/3-15/3

(8-15)/3 = 3c

-7/3 = 3c

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 1/3

-7/3 * 1/3 = 3c * 1/3

-7/9 = c

Swap

c = -7/9

From the calculation, we can see that Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3 thereby making his solution incorrect

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sarah. in six years, Ralph will be only twice as old is Sarah will be then. find Ralphs age now.

Phantasy [73]

First, we start with the equation that the problem told us, which is:

R + 6 = 2 * (x + 6)

Then, we distribute the two:

R + 6 = 2x + 12

Now, we put R on its own side.

R = 2x +6

So, the answer must be C, 2x + 6

When Justin goes to work, he drives at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes for Justin to

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Justin spends $14.24 on gas to travel to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average speed at which Justin goes to work = 65 miles/hour

Time taken by Justin to arrive at work = 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours [As 30 minutes =0.5 hours]

Distance he can travel per gallon of gas = 25 miles.
