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]

Answer:

If you multiply or divide both the top of a fraction and the bottom of a fraction by the same number, so for example:

[tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{2}{2} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

1/4 = 2/8

4/2 = 2/1 or 2

2/3 = 4/6

6/8 = 3/4

1/3 = 2/6

1/4 = 2/8

1/2 = 2/4

4/6 = 2/3

3/6 = 1/2

can you mark me brainliest please

Answer:  B,  C , and E are the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the expressions by breaking it down.  

2h + g   Nothing can be done to this expression because it is already broken down.

4(2h + g)  Apply the distributive property to break it down.  

 4(2h) + 4(g)

=    8h + 4g  

4h + 4h  + 3g + g   Combine like terms to break this one down

(4h + 4h) + (3g + g)

= 8h + 4g  

1/4(2h + g)    Apply the distributive property to break it down.  

=  1/2h + 1/4g  

2(4h + 2g)     Apply the distributive property to break it down.    

= 8h  + 4g    

1/8(8h + 4g)   Apply the distributive property to break it down.  

  1h + 1/2g  

 

Geet sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $20 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Geet sells 18 televisions with extended​ warranties, he earns $1,530. How much is the fixed amount Geet earns for each​ television?

Answers

Answer: $65

Step-by-step explanation: first you want to get rid of the amount in extended warranties, to do this you want to multiply 20 and 18. by doing this you get 360, so subtract 360 from 1530 and you get 1170. To find out the fixed amount per you want to divide by the amount of televisions sold which is 18. So 1170 divided by 18 is 65 so that is the fixed amount.

The fixed amount Greet earns would be $65, hope this helps!

Madeline found that the experimental probability of her scoring from a
three-point line in a basketball game is 1/10 or 10%. Out of 20 shots from a
three-point line, about how many points could she predict she would make?

pls help

Answers

Answer:

6 points

Step-by-step explanation:

1/10=x/20cross multiply the x with the 10 and the 20 with the 1 so that you are now left with the fraction 10x/2010x divided by 20 will give you x=2to check and make sure this is still equivalent with the 10% of shots Madeline makes divide 2/20Since this is still 10 percent Madeline makes 2 out of every 20 shots Multiply those 2 shots by three points since it was from the three point line and we get 6 points

Hope that helps :)

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that she would be expected to make 6 points.

For each shot, there are only two possible outcomes, either she makes it, or she misses it. The probability of making a shot is independent of any other shot, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability, which has expected value given by:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this problem:

She takes 20 shots, hence [tex]n = 20[/tex].She has a 10% probability of making each shot, hence [tex]p = 0.1[/tex]

The expected number of shots she makes is given by:

[tex]E(X) = np = 20(0.1) = 2[/tex]

Since each shot from the three-point line is worth 3 points, she is expected to make 2 x 3 = 6 points.
