Step 1: 12 = -2(x - 4) - 8
Step 2: 12 = -2x - 8 - 8
Step 3: 12 = -2x - 16
Step 4: 28 = -2x
Step 5: 26 = x

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -6 (correct answer)

  mistakes were made in Step 2 and Step 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake is made in Step 2, application of the distributive property. This is often a source of error. Here, the error is in signs.

Step 1: 12 = -2(x -4) -8

Step 2: 12 = -2x +8 -8 . . . . . . the correct step 2

Step 3: 12 = -2x . . . . . . . . . . . like terms combined

Step 4: -6 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -2

__

Check

  12 = -2(-6 -4) -8 = -2(-10) -8 = 20 -8 = 12 . . . . answer checks OK

__

Comment on other mistake

In the original Step 5, -2 was divided on the right and added on the left. This is a violation of the properties of equality, so guarantees a wrong answer. The same operation must be performed on both sides of the equation.

An additional mistake was made in that the answer was not checked.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

base = 784 sq in²  28 in tall pyramid

each side of the square base = √784   also equals 28

using the Pythagorean theorem the length of each side of the pyramid from the base to the point is

(side/2)² + height² =( length of the pyramid face)²

(28/2)² + 28²  = 196 + 784  = 980 =  (face length)²

face length = √980    =  31.3

area of the pyramid = 4 sides × area of each face + the area of the base

    =   4×[(1/2)(base)(face length)] + side²

    =   4(1/2)(28)(31.3) + 784

    =   2537 sq in²     Not in the solution set

Let's say that a cell phone provider offers a new phone for $600 with a
$70 monthly plan. Find the equation that represents the average cost of
the phone, C(x), to use for x amount of months.
Can someone please answer this?

Answers

Answer:

Total=600+70(x)

The average cost of the phone is C(x) = (600 + 70x)/x.

How to calculate the average?

In order to calculate average, divide the total sum of the data to the total number of data. An average is a standard number for a given data whose value can both be more or less than it.

Given that,

The fixed price of the cellphone is $600.

And, the monthly plan is $70.

Now, the cost of the phone increases with the number of months and the average cost is the total cost divided by the number of months.

As per the question the average cost can be written as,

C(x) = (600 + 70x)/x

Where x is the number of months.

Hence, the average cost of the given phone can be written in terms of the function of month as C(x) = (600 + 70x)/x.

Answers

Answer:

8.7 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

As obtained frommthe diagram attached :

Base, b of triangle = 6 feets

Height of triangle, h = 12 feets

Volume of a Triangular Prism is obtained using the relation :

Base Area * Width

Base area of prism :

0.5 * base * height

0.5 * 6 * 12 = 36ft²

Width, w of the ramp =x

Volume, V = 313.2 ft³

V = base area * width

313.2 = 36 * x

313.2 = 36x

x = 313.2 / 36

x = 8.7 feets

Maria, Carolina and Pedro receives $1600 from their grandfather in ratio 7:5:4. calculate share of each.


Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> total money received by them = $1600

=> the given ratio are 7:5:4

=> let the ratio be X ,now

=> Maria = 7X

=> Carolina = 5X

=> Pedro = 4X

=> we know whole money = $1600

=> so, adding all

=>. 7x + 5x + 4x = $1600

=> 16x = $1600

=> x= $1600/16

=>. x = $100

now Maria = 7*100 = $700

Carolina = 5*100 = $500

Pedro = 4*100 = $400
