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

How do you solve 5x-2x+6x+40-9+1-x+3x-8+15+7
Aleonysh [2.5K]

5x-2x+6x+40-9+1-x+3x-8+15+7

First you would combine like terms:

5x - 2x + 6x - x + 3x = 11x and

40 - 9 + 1 - 8 + 15 + 7 = 46, so the simplified expression would be

11x + 46

A skier has decided that on each trip down a slope, she will do 3 more jumps than before. On her first trip she did 5 jumps. Der
taurus [48]
Since we are already given the amount of jumps from the first trial, and how much it should be increased by on each succeeding trial, we can already solve for the amount of jumps from the first through tenth trials. Starting from 5 and adding 3 each time, we get: 5 8 (11) 14 17 20 23 26 29 32, with 11 being the third trial.

Having been provided 2 different sigma notations, which I assume are choices to the question, we can substitute the initial value to see if it does match the result of the 3rd trial which we obtained by manual adding.

Let us try it below:

Sigma notation 1:

  10
<span>   Σ (2i + 3)
</span>i = 3

@ i = 3

2(3) + 3
12

The first sigma notation does not have the same result, so we move on to the next.

  10
<span>   Σ (3i + 2)
</span><span>i = 3
</span>
When i = 3; <span>3(3) + 2 = 11. (OK)
</span>
Since the 3rd trial is a match, we test it with the other values for the 4th through 10th trials.

When i = 4; <span>3(4) + 2 = 14. (OK)
</span>When i = 5; <span>3(5) + 2 = 17. (OK)
</span>When i = 6; <span>3(6) + 2 = 20. (OK)
</span>When i = 7; 3(7) + 2 = 23. (OK)
When i = 8; <span>3(8) + 2 = 26. (OK)
</span>When i = 9; <span>3(9) + 2 = 29. (OK)
</span>When i = 10; <span>3(10) + 2 = 32. (OK)

Adding the results from her 3rd through 10th trials: </span><span>11 + 14 + 17 + 20 + 23 + 26 + 29 + 32 = 172.
</span>
Therefore, the total jumps she had made from her third to tenth trips is 172.

If f(x) = x2 – 1 and g(x) = 2x – 3, what is the domain
Ainat [17]
Begin by finding the lowest point the quadratic equation can be, the vertex; 

x²-1= is just a translation down of the graph x²

vertex; (0, -1) and since the graph of x² would extend to infinity beyond that point, we can say {x| x≥0} for domain and {y| y≥-1}. 

For the linear equation, it is possible to have all x and y values, therefore range and domain belong to all real numbers. 

Hope I helped :)
