Caleb solved this equation and recorded his work. 7.4x + 4.1(2x − 4) = −2.3(x − 6) − 21.6 1. 7.4x + 8.2x − 16.4 = −2.3x + 13.8 − 21.6 2. 15.6x − 16.4 = −2.3x + 35.4 3. 17.9x − 16.4 = 35.4 4. 17.9x = 51.8 5. X ≈ 2.89 When Caleb verified his solution, it didn't work. What mistake did he make? In step 1, the distributive property was not used properly on the right side of the equation. In step 2, the like terms were not combined properly on the right side of the equation. In step 3, the addition property of equality was not used properly to isolate the variable term. In step 5, the division property of equality was not used properly to solve for x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations is

[tex]7.4x+4.1(2x-4)=-2.3(x-6)-21.6[/tex]

The correct steps to solve the above equation are

1. Using distributive property, we get

[tex]7.4x+8.2x-16.4=-2.3x+13.8-21.6[/tex]

2. Combining like terms, we get

[tex]15.6x-16.4=-2.3x-7.8[/tex]

3. Using addition property of equality, add 2.3x on both sides.

[tex]17.9x-16.4=-7.8[/tex]

4. Using addition property of equality, add 16.4 on both sides.

[tex]17.9x=8.6[/tex]

5. Using division property of equality, divide both sides by 17.9.

[tex]x\approx 0.48[/tex]

In step 2, the like terms were not combined properly on the right side of the equation.  

[tex]13.8-21.6=-7.8\neq 35.4[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is b. In step 2, the like terms were not combined properly on the right side of the equation.

(11 over 3,4)


(4,11 over 3)


(5, 8)


(10, 12 over 5)

Answers

Answer:

(11/3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the coordinates of the point that partitions the line segment in the given ratio, we shall be using the internal division formula.

Mathematically, that is ;

= {(mx2 + nx1/(m+n), (my2 + ny1)/(m + n)}

m and n represents the ratios 1:2

(x1, y1) represents the coordinates of A

(x2,y2) represents the coordinates of B

From the question, let’s list out the individual values;

m = 2

n = 1

x1 = 3

x2 = 4

y1 = 6

y2 = 3

Substituting these values in the equation, we have;

(2(4) + 1(3)/(1+2) , (2(3) + 1(6)/(1 + 2))

= (8 + 3)/3 , (6 + 6)/3)

= (11/3, 12/3)

= (11/3 , 4)

Samantha conjectures that for x < -1, it is true that x5 - 2 > x. Is her conjecture correct? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

  The conjecture cannot work for any negative numbers, It works for x > 1.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd power preserves the sign. For |x| > 1, the power increases the magnitude. For x < 0, adding -2 only increases the magnitude more. A negative number of larger magnitude will not be "greater than" the reference. It will be "less than."

It only takes a counterexample to show the conjecture is incorrect.

  x^5 -2 ?? x

  (-2)^5 -2 ?? (-2)

  -32 -2 ?? -2

part a- represent V as a function of t

step 1: find the slope by picking any two coordinates and using the slope formula
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-i chose (8,2000) and (4,7000) but it doesn't matter what you choose.

-plug in:
m=(7000-2000)/(4-8)=-5000/4=-1250

step 2: plug any coordinate into equation y=mx+b

- i chose (0,12000)

- plug in:
(12000)=(-1250)(0)+b

- solve for b
b=12000

step 3: V as a function of t
- use slope intercept equation y=mx+b
- V(t)=y
- t=x
- m=-1250
- b=12000
V(t)=-1250t+12000 (final answer)

Distance Traveled and Gas Left in Tank Distance Traveled (in miles) 0 90 180 270 Amount of Gas Left in Tank (in gallons) 15 12 9 6 How many gallons of gasoline does the car have left after it has traveled 330 miles?

Answers

Answer:

4 gallons of gasoline the car has left after it has traveled 330 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following data of Distance Traveled and Gas Left in Tank below;

   Distance Traveled (in miles)       Amount of Gas Left in Tank (in gallons)

                 0                                                            15

                90                                                           12

               180                                                            9

               270                                                           6

               330                                                           ?

As we can see from the table that for every 90 miles of distance traveled, there has been a reduction of 3 gallons of gas which is left in the tank, i.e;

From 90 to 180 - Gas reduced from 12 to 9

This means that in 1 gallon of gas, the distance traveled is =  [tex]\frac{90}{3}[/tex] = 30 miles

So, from distance 270 to 300, the amount of Gas Left in Tank = 6 - 1 = 5 gallons

From distance 300 to 330 miles, the amount of Gas Left in Tank = 5 - 1 = 4 gallons

Hence, 4 gallons of gasoline is left after the car has traveled 330 miles.

The Johnson family is going to build a new home. They need to have working drawings of their house plans created by a design firm. They will choose between Rock the House Digital Designs and Elegant Home Architects. Rock the House Digital Designs charges $500.00 for the initial consultation with the Johnson family, plus $50.00 for every additional hour of work for the house plans. Elegant Home Architects charge $75.00 per hour for the house plans. Let ℎ represent the number of hours for which the Johnson family hires the design firm. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

The Elegant Home Architects charges are less than Rock the House Digital Designs charges for hours worked more than 2.

If the number of hours worked is equal to 2 than both would charge the same and if the hours are less than 2 then  Rock the House Digital Designs  will be a better option .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ℎ represent the number of hours for which the Johnson family hires the design firm.

Suppose the  Johnson family hires the design firm for ten hours so h= 10

Then the charges by the Rock the House Digital Designs will be

$ 500 + 50(10)= $ 500+ $500= $1000

And the charges for the services by Elegant Home Architects will be

$75.00(10) = $ 750

Therefore the Elegant Home Architects charges are less than Rock the House Digital Designs charges.

But if the number of hours worked is equal to 2 than both would charge the same and if the hours are less than 2 then  Rock the House Digital Designs  will be a better option .

Rock the House Digital Designs

For 2 hours

$ 500 + 50(2)= $300

For 1 Hour

$500 + 50 (1)= $ 550

Elegant Home Architects

For 2 hours

$75.00(2) = $ 300

For 1 Hour

$75.00(1) = $ 75
