A student solved a system of equations by elimination. Describe and correct the error made in the part of the solution shown.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2; y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 4y = 2 (1)

3x + 3y = 3 (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 4

15x + 12y = 6 (3)

12x + 12y = 12 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3)

15x - 12x = 6 - 12

3x = -6

x = -6/3

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into (1)

5x + 4y = 2

5(-2) + 4y = 2

-10 + 4y = 2

4y = 2 +10

4y = 12

y = 12/4

y = 3

The first error is when he multiplied equation (2) by 4

He didn't multiply the right hand side of the equation by 4

3x + 3y = 3 ×4

12x + 12y = 12

But he wrote

12x + 12y = 3

The the next error is subtracting the left hand side of the equation and adding the right hand side

15x + 12y = 6

12x + 12y = 3

He wrote

3x = 9

Instead of 3x = 3

Answers

Answer:

B, x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles are similar with a ratio of 22.5/9

so using that an equation can be created like this, [tex]\frac{22.9}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23.5}{x+4.4}[/tex]

If simplified, 22.9(x + 4.44) = 23.5(9)

22.5x + 99 = 211.5

22.5x = 112.5

x = 5

which ordered pair is a solution to the system of inequalities? {y>−2x+y≤4 (−2, −3) (0, −4) (1, 3) (1, 5)

Answers

Answer:

(0, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression

y>−2x+y≤4

This can be splitted into

y>−2x+y .... 1

and -2x+y≤4 .... 2

From1;

y>−2x+y

y - y >−2x

0 >−2x

-2x < 0

x > 0/-2

x>0

Substitute x = 0 into 2

-2(0)+ y ≤4

y≤4

Hence the solution is (0, -4)

What is the value of x in the equation 3(x − 2) + 5 = 2(5x − 4)

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x − 2) + 5 = 2(5x − 4)

Distributive property

3 * x - 3 * 2 + 5 = 2 * 5x - 2 * 4

3x - 6 + 5 = 10x - 8

Combine like terms

3x - 1 = 10x - 8

Add 8 on both sides

3x - 1 + 8 = 10x - 8 + 8

3x + 7 = 10x

Subtract 3x on both sides

3x - 3x + 7 = 10x - 3x

7 = 7x

Divide by 7 on both sides to isolate the variable

7/7 = 7x/7

1 = x

Check

3(x − 2) + 5 = 2(5x − 4)

Replace the "x" with 1

3 ( 1 - 2 ) + 5 = 2 ( 5 * 1 - 4)

3 * -1 + 5 = 2 * 1

2 = 2

Correct

Hope this helped!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 2) + 5 = 2(5x - 4)

3x - 2 + 5 = 10x - 8

3x + 3 = 10x - 8

3x = 10x - 8 - 3

3x = 10x - 11

3x + 11 = 10x

11 = 10x - 3x

11 = 7x

11/7 = x

therefore, x = 1 4/ 7 ( mixed fraction form)

An area of a rectangle is length times width. 8x times 5x = 40x^2. 40x^2 is eqaul to 500. After dividing by 40 and taking the square root of the quotient, x is approximately 3.54. 5 times 3.54 and 8 times 3.54 will yield approximately 17.5 and 28 units.

Dana is planning to drive 400 miles from

gallon.
Part A: How many gallons of fuel does

trip? Explain your reasoning.
Part B: Dana can take a high-speed train
to Boston instead of driving. A round-trip
train ticket costs $95. Is it cheaper for
Dana to take the train or to drive? How
much cheaper? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

A. 8 gallons

B. Drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, given data are as follows,

Total drive = 400 miles

Total drive per gallon = 50 miles

Fuel cost per gallon = $4.45

A. So, Total fuel required to drive 400 miles can be calculated as follows,

Total fuel required =  Total drive ÷ Total drive per gallon

By putting value, we get,

Total fuel required = 400 ÷ 50

= 8 gallons

B. Total cost if drive by car = 8 gallons × $4.45 = $35.6

Cost if travel by train = $95

Hence it is clearly shows that drive by car is much cheaper than travel by train.

Cost saved by travel by car = $95 - $35.6 = $59.4

So, drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train.

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you would take all of the angles and add them up to 180

2x+40+100=180

second, we combine like terms

2x+140=180

third, we solve for x

2x+140=180

    -140  -140

2x=40

x=20

i hope this helps!

Answer:

X=20

Step-by-step explanation:

the total angle degree of a triangle is always 180 so we have two point 100 and 40 add those and you get 140 so you have 40 left but that angle says 2 X so 2x is 40 so ÷ 2 to get 1x which is 20

Which set of numbers could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangles?

A. {1, 3, sqrt10}

B. {2, 3, 4}

C. {3, 4, 5}

D. {8, 15, 17}

Answers

Answer:

B. 2,3,4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

A. 1^2+3^2=(sqrt10^2)

B. 2^2+3^2not equal to 4^2

C. 3^3+4^2=5^2

D. 8^2+15^2=17^2

The set of numbers {2, 3, 4} could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangles.

The correct option is an option (B).

What is Pythagorean triples?

"For integers a, b, c if a² + b² = c², then these integers are called as Pythagorean triples they can be denoted as (a, b, c)"

What is Pythagoras theorem?

"For a right triangle,

c² = a² + b², where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are any two sides of the right triangle."

What is hypotenuse?

"It is the lonest side of the right triangle."

For given example,

We need to find the set of numbers that could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangles.

If the set of numbers is not Pythagorean triple then it would not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangles.

A) {1, 3, √10}

let a = 1, b = 3, c = √10

⇒ c² = (√10)²

⇒ c² = 10

Consider, a² + b² = 1² + 3²

⇒ a² + b² = 1 + 9

⇒ a² + b² = 10

⇒ a² + b² = c²

This means, these numbers are Pythagorean triple.

So, these numbers represents the lengths of the sides of the right triangle with hypotenuse √10 unit and other two sides are 1 unit and 3 units.

B) {2 ,3, 4}

let a = 2, b = 3, c = 4

⇒ c² = (4)²

⇒ c² = 16

Consider, a² + b² = 2² + 3²

⇒ a² + b² = 4 + 9

⇒ a² + b² = 13

⇒ a² + b² ≠ c²

This means, these numbers are not a Pythagorean triple.

So, these numbers does not represent the lengths of the sides of the right triangle.

C) {3, 4, 5}

let a = 3, b = 4, c = 5

⇒ c² = (5)²

⇒ c² = 25

Consider, a² + b² = 3² + 4²

⇒ a² + b² = 9 + 16

⇒ a² + b² = 25

⇒ a² + b² = c²

This means, these numbers are Pythagorean triple.

Hence, these numbers represents the lengths of the sides of the right triangle with hypotenuse 5 units and other two sides are 3 units and 4 units.

D) {8, 15, 17}

let a = 8, b = 15, c = 17

⇒ c² = (17)²

⇒ c² = 289

Consider, a² + b² = 8² + 15²

⇒ a² + b² = 64 + 225

⇒ a² + b² = 289

⇒ a² + b² = c²

This means, these numbers are Pythagorean triple.

So, these numbers represents the lengths of the sides of the right triangle with hypotenuse 17 units and other two sides are 8 units and 15 units.

Therefore, the set of numbers {2, 3, 4} could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangles.

The correct option is an option (B).

Ever since the ancient years, we have admired athletes and the hard work that they do to achieve their goal of winning. We idolize them and wish we were more like them. What happens though when the realization sinks in that they are human too and that some of them do get greedy and selfish? A lot of athletes are model citizens that you should really look up to, but there are also some bad apples in the bunch that ruin it for everyone. Athletes can inspire young people to work hard so that their efforts can pay off, but no one is pure and flawless. Greed does take a hold of some players, but they shouldn't be the ones we devote all of our attention to. We should look at the Shaquille O'Neal bought over 1,000 turkeys and gave to needy families all across the nation on Thanksgiving. I did not hear one mention of that in the news. They are making us believe that all athletes are bad people with their propaganda. If they spent half the time covering the good-hearted stories that they do the bad ones, we would have a different opinion on the hard working athlete. Michael Jordan has started a foundation that donates money for research to help physically challenged children. He has been running up the tabs at Atlantic City casinos, but who hasn't gambled? We are not perfect. Michael may gamble, but he does his share of helping and works hard for what he has acquired. Gambling is no crime, so then he is not showing us a negative thing. If parents disapprove of him gambling, then they should outlaw it because he is not doing anything wrong. Michael, and other athletes as well, is aware that he is constantly being watched by millions and tries to act accordingly. There has been a major controversy in the NBA lately thanks to Charles Barkley and his claim in an interview that he is not a role model, but that is the job of the parent. He says that parents shouldn't be blaming the athletes if they can't control their own children. Another person that agrees with this notion is football and basketball star Deion Sanders.
