Answer:
5 shapes, 3 rectangles 2, Triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.
Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is
y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.
It would be C. This is because the dates are associated with the letter they provide (D), and likewise with the pomegranates, to equal 12 dollars.
