Zöe schedules advertising for a radio station. She must fill 12 minutes each hour with 30 second ads and 60 second ads. Zöe sold

twice as many 60 second ads as she did 30 second ads. She defines x as the number of 30 second ads and y as the number of 60 second ads that she sold. Zöe writes the system    and . Which statement identifies Zöe’s error and the correction that is needed?  Zöe used seconds to measure time for each ad, but she used minutes for the total. She should have used . Zöe set up an equation that would translate to “twice the number of 30 second ads = the number of 60 second ads.”  She should have used . Zöe compared the number of 30 second ads to the number of 60 second ads without  including the total number of ads. She should have used . Zöe did not include the whole hour in the total time. She should have used .

I cannot see Zoe's work to explain the error, but the correct method of solving is listed:

x is the number of 30-second ads
y is the number of 60-second ads

x+y=12(60)=720 would be the first equation; this is because while the ads together make 12 minutes, the ad times are in seconds.  This means we must multiply 12 by 60.

y=2x is the second equation

Our system is then
x+y=720
y=2x

We will use substitution to solve this.  Plug 2x in place of y in the first equation:
x+2x = 720

Combine like terms:
3x = 720

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 720/3
x = 240

Substitute this value in for x in the second equation:
y=2(240)
y=480

She can buy 38 apples.

10/0.26 = 38.5 but you can’t buy half an apple so you round down to 38.

Hope this helped!

25% is being taken off the original price, p, of each patio chairs. 

That means the price of each patio chair is the full price, p, minus <span>25% of the original price.
1) To find 25% of the original price, multiply p (original price) by the decimal form of 25%, or 0.25. That means 25% off original price = 0.25p. 
2) Now subtract 0.25p from the original price of the chairs to find the price of each (1) chair. p - 0.25p

Shylah is buying 4 chairs at that discounted price. That means you need to multiply the discounted price, </span> p - 0.25p, by 4. Shylah is paying 4(p-0.25p) total for the 4 chairs, which is answer choice B.

Since you can choose more than one choice, you can simplify 4(p-0.25p) by subtracting what is in the parathesis, then multiplying, following the order of operations:
4(p-0.25p) 
= 4(0.75p)  
= 3p
That is answer choice A. 

--------

Answer: Choices A and B, <span>3p and 4(p−0.25p).</span>

2(a+7) - 7 = 9 what is the answer
REY [17]

Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+7)−7=9

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(a+7)−7=9

(2)(a)+(2)(7)+−7=9(Distribute)

2a+14+−7=9

(2a)+(14+−7)=9(Combine Like Terms)

2a+7=9

2a+7=9

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

2a+7−7=9−7

2a=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2a

2

=

2

a=1
