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

Please help, seriously confused
Rufina [12.5K]
Original height = original width = x mm

1. She made an enlarged copy...
height = 2x
width = 2x

2. She cut off a rectangle...
height = 2x
width = \frac{2}{3} *2x= \frac{4}{3}x

3.She doubled the width...
height = 2x
width = 2*\frac{4}{3}x = \frac{8}{3}x

height * width = area

2x * \frac{8}{3}x=139 \ 968  \\ \\ \frac{16}{3}x^2= 139 \ 968 \\\\ x^2=139 \ 968: \frac{16}{3}=139 \ 968 * \frac{3}{16}=  8 \ 748*3 = 26 \ 244 \\  \\ x= \sqrt{26 \ 244} = 162 \ mm

Original height was 162 mm
