A student solved a system of equations by elimination. The answer is not correct. Describe the error in the solution.

Original Problem:

3x−2y=8

x+y=2

Student Work:

3x−2y=8

2x+2y=2

5x=10

x=2

Answers

Answer 1

The student went from x+y = 2 to 2x+2y = 2, which is not correct. They multiplied the left side by 2, but forgot about the right hand side.

They should have gone from x+y = 2 to 2x+2y = 4 after multiplying both sides by 2.

So they should have this new equivalent system

[tex]\begin{cases}3x-2y = 8\\2x+2y = 4\end{cases}[/tex]

Add straight down and we end up with the new equation 5x = 12 which solves to x = 12/5 = 2.4

Use that x value to solve for y. You should get y = -2/5 = -0.4

We have to think that the median and the side is parallel to are one small and one big, and that the small one is half of that big one and that the big one is the small one doubled.

AB = 8 ( the small one ) then XY = 2* 8 = 16 ( the big one)

AB = 3 then  XY = 2* 3 = 6

AB = 2.5 then XY = 2*2.4 = 5

Answer:

Hello!

After reading your question I have calculated the correct answer to be:

47.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I solved this equation was I first split the equation into two parts.

I took the two whole numbers, being "34" and "12", and made their own equation:

"34+12=?"

And then I took the two partial numbers "0.98" and "0.24" and made their own equation:

"0.98+0.24=?"

I then solved both equations:

"34+12= 46"

"0.98+0.24= 1.22"

And added those two solutions together to come up with the final solution:

"46+1.22= 47.22"

Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 2*w + 8

P = 2(l + w) = 96

48 = l + w

2w + 8 + w = 48

3w = 40

w = 40/3

l = 2*40/3 + 8

= 80/3 + 8

= 80 + 24  / 3

Five years ago, a father was 3 times as old
as his son, now their combined ages amount
to 110 years. How old are they?

Answers

Answer:

Father is 80 years old and the son is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let father be x and son be y:

x-5 = 3(y-5)

x = 3y-10 ------ eq1

x+y = 110

x = 110 -y -------- eq2

Now if we combine the 2 equations we get:

3y + y = 110+10

y=30 (sons age)

Substituting in equation 2 we get:

x = 110 - 30

x = 80

Therefore, the fathers age is 80 and the sons age is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given set of questions regarding the concept of division, it is important to understand the parts of a division problem.

Definitions:

In a division problem such as 15 ÷ 3 = 5:

15 represents the dividend, which is the number being divided into groups. 3 represents the divisor, which is the number of groups that divides the dividend.  5 represents the quotient, which is the result of dividing the dividend and the divisor. Solution:

Now that we have defined the parts of a division problem, we can proceed to matching the division problems to its corresponding representation of equal groups.

1.) 15 ÷ 3 = 5 "There are 5 equal groups of 3."  

If you multiply the quotient, 5, by the divisor, 3, it results in the dividend: 5 × 3 = 15. This occurs because multiplication is the opposite mathematical operation of division.  

2.) 45 ÷ 5 = 9 "There are 9 equal groups of 5."  

      9 equal groups of 5 = 9 × 5 = 45.

3.)   8 ÷ 4 = 2 "There are 4 equal groups of 2."  

      4 equal groups of 2 = 4 × 2 = 8.

4.) 18 ÷ 6 = 3 "There are 3 equal groups of 6."  

      3 equal groups of 6 = 3 × 6 = 18.

Six apples and three oranges cost $3.36. Two apples and five oranges cost $3.04. Find the cost of one apple and the cost of an orange.

Answer and step-by-step explanation pls!!

Answers

Answer:

$0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the price of apples

let y represent the price of oranges

6x+3y=3.36—eqn 1

2x+5y=3.04—eqn 2

Multiply eqn 2 by 3

3(2x+5y=3.04)=6x+15y=9.12

Subtract eqn 2 from 1

6x+3y=3.36

-{6x+15y=9.12}

-12y=-5.76

y=0.48

plug y=0.48 into eqn 1

6x+3(0.48)=3.36

6x=3.36-1.44

x=1.92/6=0.32

That is, an apple costs $0.32 and an orange costs $0.48

Therefore the cost of an orange and an apple=$0.48+$0.32=$0.8

Answer:

apple: $0.32orange: $0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the costs of 1 apple and 1 orange, respectively. The two cost figures tell us ...

  6x +3y = 3.36

  2x +5y = 3.04

We note that all of the numbers in the first equation are divisible by 3, so we can divide by 3 to reduce it to ...

  2x +y = 1.12

Subtracting this from the second equation gives ...

  (2x +5y) -(2x +y) = (3.04) -(1.12)

  4y = 1.92 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 0.48 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the cost of an apple can be found from our reduced equation:

  2x +0.48 = 1.12 . . . substitute for y

  2x = 0.64 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.48

  x = 0.32 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The cost of one apple is $0.32; the cost of one orange is $0.48.

And look at the picture we also have b= 3 (4)

Steps :-

At first, multiply both sides of the equation by the LCM = 14.Now, simplify the equation using distributive property & other operations. We'll get the value of 'x' as 7.

See the attachment if the working is not clear.

____________

[tex]\mathfrak{Lucazz}[/tex]

Given that:

[{(x+3)/2} + (2x/7)] = 7

Take the LCM of 2 and 7 is 14.

⇛[{7(x+3)+2(2x)}/14] = 7

⇛[{7x+21 + 4x}/14] = 7

⇛[{11x+21}/14] = 7/1

Now,

By using cross multiplication method,we get

⇛1(11x+21) = 7(14)

⇛11x + 21 = 58

⇛11x = 58-21

⇛11x = 37

∴ x = 37/11

Hence, the value of x will be 37/11 respectively.

Answers

John's membership in the gym and Madison's party are illustrations of linear equations.

1. John's equation

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Base = 75}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Monthly = 30}[/tex]

The monthly expression is:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = Base + Monthly \times m}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30 \times m}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex]

For 6 months, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 75+ 30 \times 6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 255}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex], and the amount for 6 months of membership is $255

2. Madison's party

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake = 18.50}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Balloon = 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 63.50}[/tex]

Let n represent the cost of each balloon.

So, the equation is:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake + Balloon \times n = Total}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex]

Subtract 18.50 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ 20 \times n = 45}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex]\mathbf{ n = 2.25}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex], and the cost of each balloon is $2.25
