I need help on this problem in math

Answer:

  • correct answer is C
  • Haley incorrectly applied the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the given equation, you find it matches choice C.

  \dfrac{1}{2}(6-x)+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3-\dfrac{1}{2}x+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3+\dfrac{5}{2}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\qquad\text{matches choice C}

__

Haley's error seems to be failing to distribute the 1/2 properly when she eliminated parentheses. Apparent, she incorrectly decided that ...

  1/2(6 -x)  ⇒  3 -x . . . . instead of 3 -1/2x

Then when -x was added to +3x, she got 2x. Had she done it properly, she would have added -1/2x to +3x to get 5/2x.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is a common error to "distribute" the factor outside parentheses to the first term only, as Haley apparently did. Another common error is to fail to distribute minus signs properly. The distributive property requires you apply the outside factor to <em>all</em> of the terms inside parentheses.

Sam invests $6000 in two different accounts. The first account paid 12 %, the second account paid 7 % in interest. At the end of
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest

So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest

SI = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}

First account:SI=\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}

Second account : SI =\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}

We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.

So, \frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}+\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}=590\\x=3400

So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400

The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600

Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600
