Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7

Answer:</h2>
<em><u>(a) Is it an output from the system? </u></em>
<em><u>(d) Is it a synonym of an existing thing?</u></em>
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In the question,
We have a list of nouns and we need to determine whether a particular noun should be excluded by identifying particular noun as an important 'thing'.
So, to identify it as a noun we can ask two questions which will distinguish between the same.
<u>(a) Is it an output from the system? </u>
It is one of the questions that can be asked because if the thing is an output from a system it will be definitely existing in real therefore, we can identify from this.
<u>(d) Is it a synonym of an existing thing?</u>
By asking this we can also confirm whether a particular thing is a noun or not because if the thing will be a synonym for an already existing material, it definitely will be a Noun.
<em><u>Therefore, the correct option is (a) and (d).</u></em>
Answer: 3:1
Step-by-step explanation: For every 3 wins, there is 1 loss. 60/20=3 20/20=1.
Answer:
To write 6.716 as a fraction you have to write 6.716 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
6.716 = 6.716/1 = 67.16/10 = 671.6/100 = 6716/1000
And finally we have:
6.716 as a fraction equals 6716/1000
8 ^ (-2) = 1 / 64
<span>4 ^ (-3) = 1 / 64</span>
