If she was going to divide by 3 to eliminate the x term's coefficient, she needed to divide all other terms by 3 and she did not. She only divided two of the three terms by 3 and left out the 6.

3x + 6 = 24
divide all terms by 3

3x/3 + 6/3= 24/3

x + 2= 8
subtract both sides by 2

x= 6


CHECK:
3x + 6 = 24
3(6) + 6= 24
18 + 6= 24
24= 24


ANSWER: She did not divide all terms by 3 when eliminating the x term's coefficient. x= 6

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica divides the ribbon in three parts out of which length of one part = 3\frac{1}{2} inches

Let the length of other two parts = x inches

Total length of whole ribbon = 12 inches

3\frac{1}{2}+x+x=12

3\frac{1}{2}+2x=12

2x=12-3\frac{1}{2}

2x=12-\frac{7}{2}

2x=\frac{24-7}{2}

2x=\frac{17}{2}

x=\frac{17}{4}

x=7\frac{1}{4} inches

Therefore, option A will be the answer.

Tom brought 7/8 gallons of water to a party and his friends drank2/3 of it. How many gallons of water did they drink?
natka813 [3]
In plain and short, what's 2/3 of 7/8?  well, is just their product.

\bf \cfrac{7}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 2}{8\cdot 3}\implies \cfrac{14}{24}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{7}{12}}

Two urns contain white balls and yellow balls. The first urn contains 2 white balls and 7 yellow balls and the second urn contai
Romashka [77]

-- The first urn has 9 balls in it all together, and 2 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  2/9 .

-- The second urn has 13 balls in it all together, and 3 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  3/13 .

-- The probability of being successful BOTH times is

        (2/9) x (3/13)  =  ( 6/117 )  =  about  0.0513  or  5.13% (rounded)
