Will is asked to simplify the expression below. 7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y He states that the simplified expression is 5x + 9y because

using the distributive property yields 7x - 2x + 6y + 3y and then combining like terms yields 5x + 9y. 1. What is the error in Will's reasoning? 2. Write the correct simplified expression for 7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y

= 7x - 2x - 6y + 3y

= 5x - 3y

Will got 5x + 9y because he didn't multiply the values in the bracket by the minus sign outside the bracket. He multiplied the values by +2 rather than -2. This resulted in the wrong answer that he got.

two cars travel at same speed to different destinations. car A reaches its destination in 24 minutes. car B reaches its destinat
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.

Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took : v=\frac{distance}{time}. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.

Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:

v\,*\,24\,min=d_A

Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:

v\,*\,32\,min=d_A+5\,miles

Now we solve for d_A in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:

v\,*\,32\,min=d_A+5\,miles\\d_A=v\,*\,32\,min-5\,miles\\\\v\,*\,24\,min=v\,*\,32\,min-5\,miles\\v\,(24\,min-32\,min)=-5\,miles\\v\,(-8\,min)=-5\, miles\\v=\frac{-5}{-8} \frac{miles}{min} \\v=0.625\,\frac{miles}{min}

So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
