lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:

5(-2)(2) = ?

-10 x 2 = ?

? = -20

-20 ≠ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Justificaiton:

5(x)(2) = 20

10(x) = 20

10/10(x) = 20/10

x = 2

Second Justification:

5(x)(2) = 20

5/5(x)(2) = 20/5

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

Mr. Fishie bought a tank for $15 and 10 fish which cost $f each. If he gave the cashier two 20-dollar bills, what was his change
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$25 - $10f

Step-by-step explanation:

Fishie's name is fishy.

Total =15 + 10*f

His change after 2 $20 would be:

$40 - ($15 - $10f), or

V=LWH
h=10
V=360

360=LW10
divide both sides by 10
