Answer:
No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly
Correct Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 2) = 30
Step 1: Distribute
4x + 2 = 30 
This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4
to x and 2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x
4x = 28 This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
x = 7 This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1

Let's find the correct answer to this equation:</h3><h3>4(x +2) = 30</h3>
Step 1: Distribute
Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.
4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)
= 4x + 8
4x + 8 = 30
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x
Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides (opposite operation of adding 8)
4x + 8 = 30
4x = 30 - 8
4x = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x
Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself
4x = 32
4(x) = 32
x = 32 ÷ 4
x = 8

Answer: $787 was originally borrowed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the loan.
P represents the principal or amount taken as loan
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the loan in years.
From the information given,
Total amount = $1181.05
Interest = total amount - principal
I = 1181.05 - P
R = 15%
T = 1 year
Therefore,
1181.05 - P
Therefore,
1181.05 - P = (P × 15 × 1)/100
1181.05 - P = 0.15P
P + 0.15P = 1181.0
1.5P = 1181.05
P = 1181.05/1.5
P = $787

Answer:
$1.75 cost of the funnel cake and $4.25 cost of the ice cream cone.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = cost of the ice cone cone
y = cost of the funnel cake
3x + 4y = 19.75 multiply (-2) ⇔ -6x - 8y = -39.50
5x + 8y = 35.25 do not change ⇔ +<u> 5x + 8y = 35.25</u>
-x = -4.25
x = 4.25 cost of the ice cream cone
Substitute into the second equation x = 4.25 and solve for y
5(4.25) + 8y = 35.25
21.25 + 8y = 35.25
8y = 14
y = 1.75 cost of the funnel cake
