So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.
Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is
y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.
An integer divided by its opposite always equals -1: this is false. Any number which is not 0 divided by it's opposite is in fact equal to -1, but since 0 is also an integer, it's false. You are right, good job!
Answer:
It is a good estimate for the shoes because 800 divided by 24 is
800 divided by 24 is 33.33. so $28 per pair plus tax is better than 33.33 plus tax.
Not exactly
2/10 = .2
1/4 = .25
1/4 is 0.05 bigger than 2/10
If you would like to know Mike's tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:
a market value ... 310000
the property ... 40% of the market value = 40% * 310000 = 40/100 * 310000 = 124000
the tax rate ... 145.10 per 1000 of assessed valuation
145.10 ... 1000 of assessed valuation
x ... 124000 of assessed valuation
____________________________
145.10 * 124000 = 1000 * x /1000
x = 145.10 * 124000 / 1000
x = 17992.4 (Mike's tax)
The correct result would be: Mike's tax is 17992.4.
