Answer:
Shira: x = 8
Samuel: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.
Correct Solving:
2x - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides;
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 8
Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.
Correct Solving:
-2(8m + 8) = -16
Distribute;
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to both sides;
-16m = 0
Divide both sides by -16;
m = 0
Answer:
; 262 000
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for an exponential function is

a = 140 000; b = 1.04; x = 16

y = 140 000(1.04)¹⁶
y = 140 000 × 1.873
y = 262 000

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
- 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 3 = 6.
Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
- 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17
80 and 272 share four 2s in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.
Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

It would be 90999 I am really sure :D
