Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (4 -6) = -8 is correct. The next step is to combine 4 and -6, obtaining
3(-2)
and this 3(-2) should equal -6, which is not the same as -8.
3(4 - 6) = 12 - 18, which differs from the student's solution. This is the reason for the wrong answer.
Answer:
n = all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
7n+12=1/2(14n+24)
multiply each side by 2
2(7n+12)=2*1/2(14n+24)
distribute
14n+24 = 14n + 24
subtract 14n from each side
14n-14n+24 = 14n-14n + 24
24=24
this is always true
n = all real numbers
Answer:
30 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the policy:
8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted
If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted
Since :
8 trees cut down = 48 planted
5 trees cut down = X
Cross multiply :
8 * X = 48 * 5
8X = 240
X = 240/8
X = 30
Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted
