Mai Solved The Equation Below Incorrectly. Identify Mai's Error And Then Solve The Equation Correctly.X-9)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Please see explanation column for answer.

x= -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

from the attachment, Mai's solving is given as

1/3 (1/2x- 9) = 1/2 (x+18)

1/6x-3= 1/2x+9

1/4x-3=9

1/4x=12

x=48

Mai's error started when he subtracted wrongly 1/2 x from 1/6x which gave him 1/4 x instead of - 1/3 x.

Solving correctly, we have that

1/3(1/2x-9) = 1/2(x+18)

1/6x -3= 1/2x+ 9

taking like terms to like terms

1/6x-1/2x= 9+3

(1-3)/6x= 12

-2/6x= 12

-1/3x= 12

multiplying both sides by -3

-1/3x X -3 = 12 X -3

x= -36

Answer:

So the perimeter of the larger rectangle = 160

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the scale factor of the two rectangles. We are given the perimeter of the smaller rectangle = 120.

Since the two rectangles are scaled, this means they have a common ratio. In other words:

[tex] \frac{perimeter \: of \: larger \: rectangle}{perimeter \: of \: smaller \: rectangle} = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

As given in the question.

Now we know the smaller rectangle has a perimeter of 120.

Let's take the perimeter of the larger rectangles as x.

[tex] \frac{x}{120} = \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ multiplying \: both \: sides \: by \: 120 \\ x = \frac{4}{3} (120) \\ x = 160[/tex]

So the perimeter of the larger rectangle = 160

A jar contains sugar. The jar and the sugar have a total weight of 850 g. Anna uses 2/3 of the sugar. The jar and the sugar now have a total weight of 530 g. Work out the weight of the jar.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]J = 370g[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the weight of the Jar with J and the sugar with S

Initially, we have:

[tex]J + S = 850g[/tex]

After 2/3 of sugar is removed we have:

[tex]J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g[/tex]

Required

Determine the weight of the jar

[tex]J + S = 850g[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g[/tex] --- (2)

Simplify (2)

[tex]J + S -\frac{2S}{3}= 530g[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]J + \frac{3S - 2S}{3}= 530g[/tex]

[tex]J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g[/tex]

Make S the subject in (1)

[tex]J + S = 850g[/tex]

[tex]S = 850g - J[/tex]

Substitute 850g - J for S in [tex]J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g[/tex]

[tex]J + \frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g[/tex]

Multiply through by 3

[tex]3 * J + 3*\frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g * 3[/tex]

[tex]3J + 850g - J= 1590g[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]3J - J= 1590g-850g[/tex]

[tex]2J= 740g[/tex]

Make J the subject

[tex]J = \frac{1}{2} * 740g[/tex]

[tex]J = 370g[/tex]

The jar weighs 370g

Andy’s dog weighs 27 pounds, which is 3/4 the weight of Seher’s dog. How many pounds does Seher’s dog weigh?

Answers

Answer:

20.25 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 27 by 3/4 or .75 to equal 20.25.

Answer:

36 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Seher's dog weigh x pounds, here is an equation:

27=[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]x

multiply 4 on both sides and dividing 3 on both sides, we get:

36=x

we flip this around:

x=36

So, Seher's dog weighs 36 pounds.

Of the numbers 5, 6, or 7, which is a solution of the inequality y + 4 < 10?

Answers

ExplanationGiven 5,6 and 7 part of the y-term.

[tex] \begin{cases}5 \in y \\ 6 \in y \\ 7 \in y \end{cases}[/tex]

Solve the Inequality.

[tex]y + 4 < 10 \\ y < 10 - 4 \\ y < 6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is lesser than 6. That meane it can't be y = 6 or greater. Hence, 5 is the solution to the Inequality.

Answer

y = 5 is the solution to the Inequality.

But if you want to solve for Inequality only then it is y < 6

You and 3 friends are going to the fair. You have a coupon that will save your group $20. If the total bill to get into the fair was $100, how much does one regular priced ticket to the fair cost?

Equation:

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

one regular ticket costs $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people = 4

Without  the $20 coupon, the total cost would have been =100+20 = $120

Assume the price of one regular ticket is x;

4x = 120

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x

x = 120/4

x = 30

Therefore, one regular ticket costs $30

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you pay 100 after discount, you add the 20 dollar discount to the 100 ($120)

Then since there are 4 of you in total, (you+ 3 friends), you divide by 4.

And Voila, your answer is $30 per person.

Which model shows ^3√64 = 4 ?

Answers

Answer:

if we carefully observe, left-bottom model contains 4 units on each side of the cube.

Therefore, we conclude that left-bottom model represents the [tex]\sqrt[3]{64}=4[/tex].

The correct model is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

[tex]\sqrt[3]{64}=4[/tex]

Cubing both sides

64 = 4³

Thus, the cube will have 4 units on each side.

Now, if we carefully observe, left-bottom model contains 4 units on each side of the cube.

Therefore, we conclude that left-bottom model represents the [tex]\sqrt[3]{64}=4[/tex].
