Answer:

  • Marty is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>

  • 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
  • => 2x - 4 - 6
  • => 2x - 10

When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.

<u>Marty's mistake</u>

  • Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
  • He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.

yan [13]
X = # of perfomances

y = total amount of money

Income: y = 7500x

Expense: y = 5900x + 88000



Substitution:

7500x = 5900x + 88000

1600x = 88000

x = 55

y = 7500(55) = $412,500

55 performances are needed to break-even.

Solve for x. Geometry problem.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

12.33

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2 + 9x - 3 = 180° (linear pair)

6x + 9x - 2 - 3 = 180°

15x - 5 = 180°

15x = 180 + 5

15x = 185

x = 185/15

x = 12.33

hope this helps you!

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

80 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle that is partitioned into two rectangles; rectangle A and rectangle B

Rectangle A:

Top = 5 meters

Side = 8 meters

Area of rectangle A = length × width

= 5 meters × 8 meters

= 40 meters ²

Rectangle B:

Top = 5 meters

Side = 8 meters

Area of rectangle B = length × width

= 5 meters × 8 meters

= 40 meters ²

Total area of the partitioned rectangle = area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B

= 40 meters ² + 40 meters ²

= 80 meters ²
