Find the student’s error in solving the following inequality. 31 < –5x + 6 25 < –5x –5 < x

Mathematics
1 answer:
zaharov [31]3 years ago

Answer:

He subtracted -5 from both sides, not -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality that we have to solve in this problem is

31

To solve the inequality, we proceed as follows:

1)

First, we isolate the term in x. To do that, we add -6 on both sides of the inequality, and we find:

31-6

So, this is now the new inequality.

2)

Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 5; we get:

\frac{25}{5}

3)

Finally, we change sign to the inequality, so we get:

x

So, the student's error is that he subtracted -5 from both sides, not -6.

first off, let's recall that a cube is just 6 squares stacked up to each other, like in the picture below. Since we know its volume, we can find how long each side is.

part A)

\bf \textit{volume of a cube}\\\\V=x^3~~\begin{cases}x=side\\[-0.5em]\hrulefill\\V=64\end{cases}\implies 64=x^3\implies \sqrt[3]{64}=x\implies 4=x


part B)


they have a painting with an area of 12 ft², will the painting fit flat against a side? Well, it can only fit flat if the sides of the painting are the same length or smaller than the sides of the crate, we know the crate is a 4x4x4, so are the painting's sides 4 or less?


\bf \textit{area of a square}\\\\A=s^2~~\begin{cases}s=side\\[-0.5em]\hrulefill\\A=12\end{cases}\implies 12=s^2\implies \sqrt{12}=s\implies \stackrel{yes}{3.464\approx s}

There are 140 legs on a planet zids have 5 legs and zods have 7 legs h=how many soulutions are there
abruzzese [7]
Number of zids=x
number of zods=y
number of zid legs=5x
number of zod legs=7y

so
5x+7y=140
try to get it into slope intercept from so you can graph is (y=mx+b)
5x+7y=140
subtract 5x from both sides
7y=140-5x
divide both sides by 7
y=20-5/7x
y=-5/7x+20

plug in numbers for x and get numbers for y (you can only plug in multiples of 7 for x so that there are a whole number of zids and since you are counting, x and y must never be negative)

lets try 0 for x

y=-5/7(0)+20
y=20
 so x=0 and y=20 is an answer (if you can have only one of that species)


lets try 7 for x
y=-5/7(7)+20
y=-5+20
y=15

so x=7 and y=15 is an answer


lets try 14 for x

y=-5/7(14)+20
y=-10+20
y=10

so x=14 and y=10 is another answer


lets try 21 for x
y=-5/7(21)+20
y=-15+20
y=5

so x=21 and y=5 is another answer


lets try 28 for x
y=-5/7(28)-20
y=-20+20
y=0

so x=28 and y=0 is an answer (if there can be only one of a species)


if we go further, then y will be negative so the answers are

(x,y)
(0,20)
(7,15)
(14,10)
(21,5)
(28,0)

if it is allowed that only one species exists then there are 5 possible answers
if both must exist simultaneously, then there are only 3 answers

Andrew is 3 times his son’s age. 10 years ago, he was 5 times his son’s age. What are their present ages? Show your work.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

Let's establish the two equations we will be using to solve the problem.

Let Andrew's current age = a

Let Andrew's son's current age = s

Equation No. 1 -

a = 3s

Equation No. 2 -

a - 10 = 5s

To begin with, we will substitute the value of ( a ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( s ).

Equation No. 2 -

a - 10 = 5s

( 3s ) - 10 = 5s

3s - 5s = 10

- 2s = 10

s = 10 / - 2

s = - 5

Next we will substitute the value of ( s ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( a ).

Equation No. 1 -

a = 3s

a = 3 ( - 5 )

a = - 15

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the present age of Andrew is - 15 and the present age of Andrew's son's is - 5.

It isn't possible for someone to be negative years old, but this is the answer that I ibtained from the equations.

Hope this helps! :)
