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

Pie

Answer:

cost of bracelet = 25*.05 +4*.45

cost of bracelets = 2(25*.05 +4*.45)

Step-by-step explanation:

One bracelet

Supplies needed:

25 beads and 4 charms

Each bead costs .05 and each charm costs .45

Cost of bracelet = number of beads * cost per bead + number of charms * cost per charm

cost of bracelet = 25*.05 +4*.45

cost of bracelet = 1.2 +1.8

                            =3.00


To make 2 bracelets

Cost of bracelets =2*( number of beads * cost per bead + number of charms * cost per charm)

cost of bracelets =2*( 25*.05 +4*.45)

cost of bracelets=2( 1.2 +1.8)

cost of bracelets = 2*3

cost of bracelets = 6

Answer:

-560a^4b^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2a - b)^7

By using Binomial theorem:

128a^7 - 448a^6b + 672a^5b^2 - 560a^4b^3 + 280a^3b^4 - 84a^2b^5 + 14ab^6-b^7

Here the fourth term is -560a^4b^3 !
