Answer:
Mistake in Line 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Line 1
7(6) ÷ 5 + 42
Line 2
7(6) ÷ 5 + 16
Line 3
42 ÷ 5 + 16
Line 4
42 ÷ 21
Line 5
2
To simplify any expression we use order of operation
Line 1 is 7(6) ÷ 5 + 42
Order of operation is PEMDAS
First we start with parenthesis
so we multiply 7(6) in line 2
7*6- 42
So Line 2 is 42 ÷ 5 + 42
Hence there is a mistake in Line 2
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)
Now, we solve for t.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t
We combine like terms.
2/3t+8=t
We subtract t from both sides.
-1/3t+8=0
We subtract 8 from both sides.
-1/3t=-8
We divide both sides by -1/3.
t=24
Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.
Have a wonderful day! :D
