Maricella solves for x in the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 on the left side of the equation an

d 1 + 1 on the right side of the equation. Which best explains why Maricella’s strategy is incorrect?

Maricella’s strategy is incorrect as the values added on the left and right side of the equation changes the original equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1  to  4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3.

Further explanation:

Maricella begin by adding -4+4 on the left side of the equation and 1+1 on the right side of the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1.

The value added on the left is equal to zero so it does not change the equation but the value added on the right is 2, a non-zero digit so it changes the equation as shown below.

4x-2(3x-4)+4-4+4=-x+3(x+1)+1+1+1\\4x-2(3x-4)+4+0=-x+3(x+1)+1+2\\4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3

Therefore, the strategy used by Maricella will change the equation and so the solution of the equation will be incorrect.

One way of solving such a linear equation is by adding or subtracting the required value on each side of the equation. and then simplifying the further equation.

Similarly, the other way to solve any linear equation is by separating the variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation.

After this simplify the linear equation to obtain the solution of the equation for x.

Whereas Maricella’s strategy fails to solve the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1 since the values added and subtracted in the equation changes the original equation completely.

A storekeeper increased the price of hats by 8% A hat was originally priced at $12.00. What is the new cost of the hat?
german

Answer:

$12.96

Step-by-step explanation:

determine what the decimal form of 8% is

⇒ 8% = 0.08

multiply $12 by 0.08

⇒ $12 x 0.08

⇒ $0.96

add $0.96 to $12

⇒ $12 + $0.96

⇒ $12.96

new price

⇒ $12.96

A high school has a total of 850 students. there are 60 more female students than there are make students?
Mrac [35]
Hey. Let me help you on this one.

Let's break this problem down so it's easier for us to comprehend it.

There are 850 students in the school, and the amount of female students equals to the amount of male students + sixty additional females.

Amount of students in school = 850 students

Male students = X

Female students = X+60

Let's form an equation so we can work with what we have.

X+(X+60)=850

Subtract 60 from both sides.

X+X=790

Simplify

2X=790

Divide both sides by 2.

X=395

Answer: There are 395 male students, and 455 female students.
