Morgan, Dakota and Taylor showed their work solving the equation 7x+5x+1=73. Identify the student with the invalid first step and justify your reasoning. Morgan: 7x+5x+1=73 12x+1=73 Dakota: 7x+5x+1=73 7x+6x=73 Taylor: 7x+5x+1=73 7x+5x=72

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.

Answer 2

Answer:

As you can see, Taylor failed to add 1 to her equation. This ruins the whole first step. She also used 72 instead of 73 for the answer. Taylor is incorrect.

Find the measure of angle XAZ in the figure below.

Answers

Answer:

m∠XAZ = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠YAU, ∠YAZ and ∠XAZ are the angles based at a point on a straight line, and the sum of the all angles on a line is 180°.

Therefore, m∠YAU + m∠YAZ + m∠XAZ = 180°

50° + 90° + m∠XAZ = 180°

m∠XAZ = 180° - 140°

             = 40°

Therefore, measure of angle XAZ is 40°.

8. What is the solution to 0,3(12x16)=0.4(12-3x)?​

Answers

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: First, you are going to multiply the numbers in the first set of parenthesis, getting 72. Now, have 72 take the place of 12x6 in the equation. Your new equation looks like this: 0.3 x 72 = 0.4(12-3).

Going off of step one, you will be doing the same thing with the second set, but you will be subtracting instead. You will get 9, and plug it place of the parenthesis. Your equation now looks like o.3 x 72 = 0.4 x 9.

Next, you will multiply the set of numbers on the left side of the equal sign, getting 21.6. You now have an equation of 21.6 = 0.4 x 9.

Going off of step 3, you are going to do the exact same thing we did in step 3. Multiply 0.4 and 9, and you will get 3.6. The equation now looks like 21.6 = 3.6.

Now, the inequality is false because the left-hand side and right-hand side are two completely different numbers. A bigger number cannot be equal to a smaller number.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

 g(x) = 1/2 | x+2| -3

y = Cf(x)   0 < C < 1 compresses it in the y-direction

y = f(x + C)      C > 0 moves it left

y = f(x) + C C < 0 moves it down

1/2 compression in the y direction moved to the left 2 units and down 3 units

Given: g(x) = 1/2|x + 2| - 3

0 < c < 1 means at the y-axis and makes it smaller

y = cf(x)

1/2 compression

c > 0 means that you move it to the left

y = f(x + c)

2 units to the left

c < 0 means that you move it down

y = f(x) + c

3 units down

A boy rolls down a hill on a skateboard. At time = 4 seconds, that boy has rolled 6 meters from the top of the hill. At time = 7 seconds, the boy has rolled to a distance of 30 meters. What is his average speed?

Answers

Answer:

His average speed is 4.75 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the average speed of the boy.

At time t = 4 seconds, total distance traveled = 6 meters

The average speed here is distance/time = 6/4 = 1.5 m/s

Now at time 30 7 seconds , he has rolled 30 meters

What this actually means is that for the next 3 seconds after the initial 4 seconds, he rolled a total distance of 30-6 = 24 meters. Hence, he rolled 24 meters in the next three seconds

So mathematically, his average speed for the second part of the rolling is 24/3 = 8 meters per second

Conclusively therefore , his average speed will be (1.5 + 8)/2 = 9.5/2 = 4.75 meters per second

Firstly, 1 2/3 is converted into an improper fraction being 5/3. Next, 1/5 of 5/3 is one portion of 5 equal portions. You can split 5/3 into five equal portions of 1/3. Therefore, 1/3 cup of honey was used to make the honey glaze. Lastly, that is subtracted from the 1 2/3 to end up with 1 1/3.
