Lance is solving the equation 2(2x + 1) - (3x - 5) = 17. His steps are shown below: Step 1: 4x + 2 - (3x - 5) = 17 Step 2: 4x + 2 - 3x - 5 = 17 Step 3: x + 2 - 5 = 17 Step 4: x - 3 = 17 Did Lance make a mistake? If so, in which step did he make the mistake and what was his mistake?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Lance made a mistake

His mistake was in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Lance made a mistake.

He made a mistake in step 2 of his solution.

The mistake he made was that he was supposed to open the bracket of -(3x-5) to give -3x + 5

The 5 is supposed to have a positive value and not a negative

John took all his money from his savings account. He spent 198 on a radio and 4/12 of what was left on presents for his friends. Of the money remaining, John put 2/9 into a checking account and the last remaining 980 was left to charity. How much money did John originally have in his savings account?

Answers

Answer:

John had $2088 originally in his savings accounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let John had $x originally in his saving account

He spent $198 on a radio. The remaining money = x - $198

4/12 of what was left, he spent on presents for his friends. Remainig money = x - 198 - 4/12*(x-198)

= (1 - 4/12) of (x-198)

= 2/3 of (x-198)

John then put 2/9 if his remaining money into a checking account.

Now, the remaining money = 2/3*(x-198) - 2/9 of (x-198)

= (1 - 2/9) * 2/3*(x-198)

= 7/9 * 2/3*(x-198)

= 14/27(x-198)

Money left with him = $980

14/27(x-198) = $980

x - 198 = $980 * 27 / 14

x - 198 = 1890

x = 1890 + 198

x = 2088

Hence, John had $2088 originally in his savings accounts.

What is the answer I don’t understand how to do it

Answers

The answer is negative 22 (-22)

Answer:

= -22

Step-by-step explanation:

In a simple way to say it, all you have to do is add.

Remember that two negatives being added together will remain a negative.

Think of a number line, -11 would be on the left side of the 0. If you subtract another 11, you move 11 spaces more to the left. This gives you -22.

Or simply add the 11 and then add the negative sign next to it.

-(11+11)= -22

Lines AB and CD are straight lines. Find x and y. Give reasons to justify your solutions.

Answers

Answer:

x= 14

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

AOC and BOD are vertical angles so they are equal

AOC = BOD = 25

MOD = 90

MOD = MOB+ BOD

90 = 3x+23  + 25

Combine like terms

90 = 3x +48

Subtract 48 from each side

90-48 = 3x

42 = 3x

Divide by 3

42/3 = 3x/3

14 =x

We know that 5y+ 3x +23+90 = 180 since AB is a straight line

5y+ 3x +113 = 180

subtract 113 from each side

5y+3x =67

5y+ 3*14 =67

5y +42 = 67

5y = 67-42

5y = 25

Divide by 5

y = 25/5

y =5

Matter is in a liquid state when its temperature is between its melting point and its boiling point. Suppose that some substance has a melting point of -36.14 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 324.84 degrees Celsius . What is the range of temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit for which this substance is not in a liquid​ state?

Answers

Answer:

i. When the temperature is above [tex]616.712^{o}[/tex]F, it changes to gas.

ii. When the temperature is below [tex]-33.052^{o}[/tex]F, it changes to solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matter generally exists in either a solid, liquid or gaseous form. With each phase having a certain range of temperature.

Temperature scale of a given substance can be either in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. And conversion from one scale to another can be achieved. Example, Celsius scale can be converted to Fahrenheit by:

F = [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] θ + 32

where: F is the equivalent temperature in Fahrenheit, θ is the value of temperature in degree Celsius.

Given that: melting point of the substance = [tex]-36.14^{o}[/tex]C

⇒ F =  [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] x [tex]-36.14^{o}[/tex] + 32

      = [tex]-33.052^{o}[/tex]F

The boiling point = [tex]324.84^{o}[/tex]C

F =  [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] x  [tex]324.84^{o}[/tex] + 32

  = [tex]616.712^{o}[/tex]F

The melting point of the substance is [tex]-33.052^{o}[/tex]F, and boiling point is [tex]616.712^{o}[/tex]F.

Therefore, the range of temperatures for which the substance is not in a liquid state are:

i. When the temperature is above [tex]616.712^{o}[/tex]F, it changes to gas.

ii. When the temperature is below [tex]-33.052^{o}[/tex]F, it changes to solid.

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  7  as the denominator :

        4     4 • 7

   4 =  —  =  —————

        1       7  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

When a fraction equals zero

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(a-9)

 ——————— • 7 = 0 • 7

    7    

Now, on the left hand side, the  7  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (a-9)  = 0

Equations which are never true:

4.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.3      Solve  :    a-9 = 0  

Add  9  to both sides of the equation :  

                     a = 9

One solution was found :

a = 9

Respond to the following question with either a TRUE or FALSE: "The following parabola opens down: f (x) = -x2 + 5"
O TRUE because the leading coefficient is negative.
O TRUE because the linear function is negative.
O FALSE because the 5 is.positive.
O FALSE because this function is actually linear and not a parabola.
O I'm not sure how to approach this problem...yet.

Answers

Answer: A) True because the leading coefficient is negative

Explanation:

The leading term is -x^2 since this term has the largest exponent.

The leading coefficient is -1 as it's the coefficient of the leading term.

It might help to write -x^2 as -1x^2

The negative leading coefficient makes the parabola open downward, so each endpoint goes off to negative infinity. The graph looks like a frowny face. You can think of a negative emotion going with a frowny face, so that negative emotion matches with the negative leading coefficient. There are probably other ways to remember but that's the trick I use.

[tex]-6m-8=68-4m[/tex]

→ Add 8 to both sides to collect the whole numbers

[tex]-6m = 76-4m[/tex]
