Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4 ( x + 12 ) = 2. What was his mistake? Explain.

1/4x = -10
x = -40

Answers

Answer 1
Andre’s first mistake was that he didn’t distribute properly or at all. Instead of using the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis, he moved the x to the 1/4 and subtracted 12 to the other side. Mistakes continue to occur from there so the equation solved would be:
1/4 (x+12)=2
1/4x+3=2
1/4x=-1
x=-4
Answer 2

His mistake is that he does not open the bracket first. The value of the x is negative of 4.

What is a BODMAS rule?

BODMAS rule means for the Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. This rule is used to solve the equation in a proper and correct manner.

Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4 ( x + 12 ) = 2.

First, open the bracket, then we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} + \dfrac{12}{4} = 2[/tex]

On simplifying, we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4 } + 3 = 2[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides, we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} = -1[/tex]

Multiply the equation by 4, we have

[tex]x = -4[/tex]

Which equations demonstrate how to solve for x, and what is the value of x?

a The equation 52 + 90 + x = 180 deomnstrates one way to solve for y, and y = 38 degrees. Since x + y = 180, then x = 142 degrees.
b The equation 52 + 90 + x = 90 deomnstrates one way to solve for y, and y = 52 degrees. Since x + y = 180, then x = 128 degrees.
c The equation 52 + 90 + x = 180 deomnstrates one way to solve for x, and x = 38 degrees.
d The equation 52 + 90 + x = 90 deomnstrates one way to solve for x, and x = 52 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find yAll triangles have interior angles that add together to measure 180 degreesSince we know this you can subtract the known angle values (90 and 52) from 180180-52-90= 38 38 is your yx is an exterior angle so y+x also equals 180in order to find x just take your y value and subtract it from 180180-38=142

The equation 52 + 90 + x = 180 deomnstrates one way to solve for y,

and y = 38 degrees. Since x + y = 180, then x = 142 degrees.

Calculation to find out angles :

the sum of interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees

Add all the interior angles and make it equal to 180 degrees

[tex]90+52+y=180\\142+y=180\\[/tex]

Subtract 142 from both sides

y=38 degrees

angle y is 38 degrees

Angles y  and x  are linear pair of angles , the sum of linear pair is 180 degrees

[tex]y+x=180\\38+x=180[/tex]

Subtract 38 from both sides

x=142 degrees

The equation 52 + 90 + x = 180 deomnstrates one way to solve for y, and y = 38 degrees. Since x + y = 180, then x = 142 degrees.

Hayley has $155 in savings, and her brother Hank has $230. Hayley is saving $10 each week, and her brother is spending $15 each week. After how many weeks will their savings accounts have the same amount of money in them?

What is the best way to set up this word problem to solve?


15x+155=230+10x
15 x plus 155 is equal to 230 plus 10 x

155−15x=10x+230
155 minus 15 x is equal to 10 x plus 230

155+10x=230−15x
155 plus 10 x is equal to 230 minus 15 x

155−10x=230+15x

Red line: the line crosses through 4 on the y axis. Therefore, y=4.

Blue line: the line crosses through -2 on the y axis. Therefore, y=-2.

Green line: the line crosses through -1 on the x axis. Therefore, x=-1.

Yellow line: the line crosses through 6 on the x axis. Therefore, x=6.

This is a bit confusing because when you see a horizontal line your mind might assume it would be an x=. Yet, it is the opposite. Hope this helps!
