Answer:

A. in Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is factored correctly. Then separated into two smaller equations correctly. But in solving x + 10 = 0, there is an error.

x + 10 = 0

Add -10 to both sides.

x = -10

So, the error is in step 3.

Answer:

A . In Step 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 3 the student went wrong

x = 4 or x = -10 is correct

Sierra is going on a field trip that costs $48. The cost includes $20 for transportation and two tickets that each cost the same
True [87]
We know that there are two tickets (which we'll represent with x) and a fee for transporation (which is $20)

So we can set up the equation 20+2x=48

We want to isolate x so we'll subtract 20 from each side, which gives us the equation
2x=28

Then divide each side by 2
Giving us the final answer of

x=14

So each ticket costs $14

Simplify. 4−16÷4+42 −16 13 15 16
Dimas [21]

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

✦ First split the equation in little pieces and solve them:

  ✧ 4 - 16 = -12

  ✧ 4 + 4² = 20 (4² = 16)

✦ Now divide them:

  ✧ -12 ÷ 20 = -0.6

So I'm guessing you're trying to simplify 4²... so it'd be 16 because none of the choices are the simplified version of the problem.

PLEASE EXTRA POINTS I REALLY NEED HELP!!! 1. A ski lift carries Carol up a slope at a rate of 5 mph.
gtnhenbr [62]

Hi sorry for the late response, I know the assignment was due at 5pm today but anyway here is the answer.

System:

<em>d= 5(0.75-t)</em>

<em>d= 20t</em>

<em>20t = 3.75 -5t</em>

Define Variables:

<em>d = how far Carol Skied</em>

<em>t = time it took Carol to go up/down</em>

Solve:

20t = 3.75 -5t

20t + 5t = 3.75 -5t + 5t            

25t = 3.75

25t/25 = 3.75/25

t = 0.15

<u><em>Now we plug in the time into the Distances:</em></u>

20t = 3.75 - 5t

20(0.15) = 3.75 - 5(0.15)

3 = 3.75 - 0.75

3 = 3

Solution as Sentence:

<u><em>Carol Skied 3 miles</em></u>

<u><em /></u>
