Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Red =x Blue = y
1) 4x + 6y = 180
2) x + y = 40
solve for x in eq. 2 and plug into eq. 1
2a) x=40-y
1a) 4(40-y) + 6y = 180
160-4y +6y = 180
2y=20
y=10
plug into eq. 2
x + 10 =40
x=30
30 red packages
;) maybe a late Christmas gift.. :D
Answer:
Both calculated the slope as 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Avis:
Rise = 4
Run = 12
Rise goes over the run: 4/12
4/12 simplifies into 1/3
Alec:
Rise= 2
Run= 6
Rise goes over the run: 2/6
2/6 simplifies into 1/3
We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:
2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y
In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac
In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:
2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4
In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.
The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:
Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y
I hope this helps!
