Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound. To determine the number of pounds of tomatoes that she bought, x, Carina wrote and solved the equation as shown below.

3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27. 0.85 x = 8.67. x = 10.2 pounds.

Where, if anywhere, did Carina make an error?
Carina did not make any errors.
The initial equation that Carina wrote was incorrect.
Carina should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.
Carina should have divided 8.67 by 0.85.

Answer 2

The mistake that Carina made is she should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

How many pounds of tomatoes was bought?

 The equation that represents the total amount spent is: $5.27 = $3.40 + $0.85x

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms: 5.27 - 3.40 = 0.85Add similar terms: 1.87 = 0.85xDivide both sides of the equation by 0.85: 2.2 pounds

50 would be the answer 100 divided by 2 I believe

Answer:

If you start at 0, 51.  If you start with 2, 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of numbers that will be said are simply 100/2 which is 50 since counting by two is the same as the amount of even numbers up to 100.  If you start at 0, simply add an additional count, making 51.

A board 91 cm long is to be cut into two parts so that the longer part is 10 cm more than twice as long as the shorter part. Find the length of each part.

Answers

Answer:

The parts are 27 cm and 64 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter part be x.

"The longer part is 10 cm more than twice as long as the shorter part."

shorter part: x

longer part: 2x + 10

total length: x + 2x + 10

total length: 91

x + 2x + 10 = 91

3x + 10 = 91

3x = 81

x = 27

2x + 10 = 2(27) + 10 = 54 + 10 = 64

Answer: The parts are 27 cm and 64 cm long.

Kyle has $25 and gets a job walking Chihuahuas for $2 per hour. Sophia has $4 and walks Rottweilers for $9 per hour. How many hours will they both have to work to have the same amount of money?

Answers

Answer:

  3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k represent Kyle's balance after h hours. Let s represent Sophia's balance after h hours. Then we have ...

  k = 25 +2h

  s = 4 +9h

We want to find h so that k=s:

  25 +2h = 4 +9h

  21 = 7h . . . . . subtract 4+2h

  3 = h . . . . . . . divide by 7

If both work 3 hours, they will have the same amount of money.

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain variables.


Answer: 8/143
x= 8/143

First you need to move the constant to the right of the equals sign. = 143x=12-4

Second you need to calculate it when the constant is on the right side. = 143x=8

lastly you need to divide both sides. (both sides divided by what ever number doesn’t have a variable next to it so that would be the right side on this question)

[tex]\frac{5}{14}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It's important to note here that fractions are just another way of representing division.

Therefore, [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{7}{10}}[/tex] is the same thing as [tex]\frac{1}{4} \div \frac{7}{10}[/tex].

To divide two fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{10}{7}[/tex]

We can now multiply the numerators and denominators.

[tex]1\cdot 10 = 10\\7 \cdot 4 = 28\\\\\frac{10}{28}[/tex]

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

[tex]10\div 2 = 5\\28 \div 2 = 14[/tex]

So, [tex]\frac{5}{14}[/tex].

Hope this helped!

If -2 and 3 are zeroes of quadratic polynomial xsquare + (a+1)x+b then find the value of and b

Answers

Answer:

a = - 2, b = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.

x² +(a + 1)x + b

x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is

4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0

2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)

x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is

9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0

12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

3a + b = - 12 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b

5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

a = - 2

Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b

Substituting into (2)

3(- 2) + b = - 12

- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

b = - 6

Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6

The scale drawing of a rectangular city park measures 10.0 cm by 5.0 cm. The scale of the drawing is 1.0 cm = 4.5 m. What is the area, in square meters, of the park?

Answers

Answer:

2250m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise, we are going to be converting from cm to m, since we are asked to provide our answers in meters

Given that the scale is  1.0 cm = 4.5 m

let us convert the 10cm to the actual length

1 cm------4.5m

10 cm------x

x= 4.5*10

x= 45m

Also for the 5 cm

1 cm------4.5m

5 cm------x

x= 5*10

x= 50m

Hence the area of the actual rectangular park is

45*50= 2250m^2

If 2x-3y+5-(x-3y)=11-2x, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2x-3y+5-\left(x-3y\right)=11-2x[/tex]

Remove brackets and flip the sign in the brackets:

[tex]2x-3y+5-x+3y=11-2x[/tex]

Group the similar terms together:

[tex]-3y+3y+2x-x+5=11-2x[/tex]

Add/subtract the terms:

[tex]x+5=11-2x[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides:

[tex]x+5-5=11-2x-5[/tex]

[tex]x=-2x+6[/tex]

Add 2x to both sides:

[tex]x+2x=-2x+6+2x[/tex]

[tex]3x=6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Andrew is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 80 points available. Each
question is worth exactly 2 points. What would be Andrew's test score (out of 80) if
he got 8 questions wrong? What would be his score if he got x questions wrong?

Answers

Answer:

Andrew's test score if he got 8 questions wrong = 64 points

Andrew's test score if he got x questions wrong = 80 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Total points of the multiple choice test = 80

Each question = 2 points

Total questions = Total points of the multiple choice test / 2 points

= 80/2

= 40

Total questions = 40

A. What would be Andrew's test score (out of 80) if he got 8 questions wrong

If he got 8 questions wrong out of 40 questions

= Total question points - wrong question points

= 40*2 - 8*2

= 80 - 16

= 64 points

Andrew's test score if he got 8 questions wrong = 64 points

B. What would be his score if he got x questions wrong?

Test points if he got x questions wrong = Total question points - wrong question points

= (40 * 2) - (x * 2)

= 80 - 2x

Andrew's test score if he got x questions wrong = 80 - 2x
