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.
X(x+3)-7(x+3)
x2+3x-7x-21
x^2-4x-21
Answer:
a) 7 weeks b) George's
Step-by-step explanation:
Sally's score can be modeled by 10x+850.
George's score can be modeled by 50x+570.
We can set them equal to each other to see when they intersect.
10x+850=50x+570
40x=280
x=7
If George overtakes her in the 7th week, of course he'll have the higher score in 12 weeks.
