Answer:

Antoinette's error

Option A) She distributed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Antoinette solves the linear equation

$3(x-3)+2x+9 = 2x+ 2(x-1)$

Antoinette made mistake in step 1 that is she did not distributed correctly.

If she would have distributed correctly, then she would have got the following solution:

$3(x-3)+2x+9 = 2x+ 2(x-1)\\\text{Step 1: }3x-9+2x+9 = 2x + 2x-2\\\text{Step 2: }5x = 4x -1\\\text{Step 3: }5x-4x = -1\\\text{Step 4: }x = -1$

Substituting x = -1 in the given equation, we gwt:

$3(-1-3)+2(-1)+9 = 2(-1)+ 2(-1-1)\\-12-2+9 = -2-4\\-6=-6\\\text{which is true}$

Antoinette's error

Option A) She distributed incorrectly.

10. 2x + 7y = 1<br> 2x - 4y = 12<br> Solve for y

adoni [48]

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1$ ....(1)

$2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12$ ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

$2x-4y=12$

⇒ $2x=12+4y$

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒ $x=6+2y$

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1):

$2x+7y=1$

⇒ $2(6+2y)+7y=1$

⇒ $12+4y+7y=1$

⇒ $12+11y=1$

⇒ $11y=1-12$

⇒ $11y=-11$

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒ $y=-1$

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.

L. The width, w, of the rectangle is 10 inches. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

trasher [3.6K]

40 inches because a rectangle has 2 sets of parallel lines and if the width and length are 10 then you just have to add up all the sides.
