Answer:
Shira: x = 8
Samuel: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.
Correct Solving:
2x - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides;
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 8
Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.
Correct Solving:
-2(8m + 8) = -16
Distribute;
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to both sides;
-16m = 0
Divide both sides by -16;
m = 0
Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).
27
÷12=2
So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
Horizontal lines have no slope. The line on the graph is vertical, so we can't really tell what slope it is. But there isn't any run and only rise, therefore the slope is "undefined."
