Marcel and Floyd are playing games at an arcade. Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only p

laying $0.75 games. Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining. Jorge’s work is shown below.
Let x = the number of games played.

Equation: 8.25 minus 0.25 x = 9.75 minus 0.75 x. Step 1: negative 1.50 minus 0.25 x = negative 0.75 x. Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x. Step 3: negative 3 = x.


Jorge knows his answer is incorrect because it does not make sense to have a negative number of games. What is Jorge’s error?

Answer:

  the error is in step 2.

  0.25x was added to -0.75x with an incorrect result of +0.50x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incorrect step is ...

  Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x

This is the result of an attempt to add 0.25x to both sides of the equation. The correct step would be ...

  -1.50 -0.25x = -0.75x . . . . . . . result from Step 1

  -1.50 -0.25x +0.25x = -0.75x +0.25x . . . . . add 0.25x to both sides

  -1.50 = -0.50x . . . . . . . . . . . . . the correct result from the addition (Step 2)

__

The correct result is ...

  x = -1.50/-0.50 = 3 . . . . . Step 3

two trains leave stations 210 miles apart at the same time and travel tword each other. one train at 85 miles per hour while the
hodyreva [135]

recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}
