In the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain. Sample Response: Both are correct. As long as inverse operations and the properties of equality are used properly, both methods will generate the same solution. They both isolate the variable on one side of the equation. What did you include in your response? Check all that apply. Both boys are correct. Both methods correctly use the properties of equality and inverse operations. Both methods isolate the variable on one side of the equals sign.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is "Both boys are correct".

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

6x - 2 = -4x + 2

Using Spencer's method:

        6x - 2 + 4x = -4x + 2 + 4x

        10x - 2 = 2

        10x = 4

         x = 0.40

Using Jeremiah's method:

        6x - 2 - 6x = -4x + 2 - 6x

        - 2 = -10x + 2

        10x = 4

         x = 0.40

Correct option is "Both boys are correct".

The sum of two numbers is 46. The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number. Find the numbers.‍♀️

Answers

Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

1. (MGSE9-12.F.BF.1) This table shows the number of people at a festival at certain times during
the day. Which function best represents the table below?
Hour (PM) 1 2 4 7 8
Number of People 12 19 33 54 61
A. f(x) = 7x + 12
B. f(x) = 7x + 5
C. f(x) = 5x + 7
D. f(x) = 5x + 12

Answers

Answer:

[tex] f(x) = 7x + 5 [/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the function can be written in the slope-intercept form, [tex] f(x) = mx + b [/tex].

To create an equation, we need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of the function.

First, calculate the slope of the function using two points, (1, 12) and (2, 19).

[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{19 - 12}{2 - 1} = \frac{7}{1} = 7 [/tex]

Next, find b by substituting x = 1, f(x) = 12, and m = 7 into [tex] f(x) = mx + b [/tex].

[tex] 12 = (7)(1) + b [/tex]

[tex] 12 = 7 + b [/tex]

Subtract 7 from each side

[tex] 12 - 7 = b [/tex]

[tex] 5 = b [/tex]

[tex] b = 5 [/tex]

Substitute m = 7 and b = 5 into [tex] f(x) = mx + b [/tex].

✅Thus, the equation that represents the function would be:

[tex] f(x) = 7x + 5 [/tex].

Mario deposited $6,500 in a simple interest account that pays 2.8% interest annually. If Mario leaves the money in the account for 12 years, how much interest will he earn?

Answers

Answer:

$2,184

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

Principal = $6,500

Rate = 2.8%

Time = 12 years

Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

= (6,500 × 2.8 × 12) / 100

= 218,400 / 100

= 2,184

Simple interest = $2,184

The simple interest on $6,500 at 2.8% for 12 years is $2,184

Answer:

Read left to right

Do parenthesis first

-4 ( 1 + 5) ^2

-4 (6) ^2

Then exponent

6^2 = 6 x 6 = 36

-4 x 36 = -144

Then divide

-144 / 6 = -24

Then the next parenthesis

(42+5) = 47

-24 - 47 = -71

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer = -71
Step: -4(1+5)^2/6 -(42+5)

=-4(6^2)/6 -(42+5)

=( -4) (36)/6 -(42+5)

=-144/6 -(42+5)

= -24-(42+5)

= -24-47
