The error is:

She incorrectly broke up 2 and two-fifths.

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to describes Catron’s error?

The steps are:

Step 1: (Negative 9) (2 + two-fifths)

Step 2: (Negative 9) (Negative 2) + (negative 9) (two-fifths)

Step 3: Negative 18 + (negative 9) (two-fifths)

Step 4: (negative 27) (two-fifths)

Solution: Negative StartFraction 54 over 5 EndFraction = Negative 10 and four-fifths

The error is:

She incorrectly broke up 2 and two-fifths.

Option A is correct option.

<u>Solving </u>

Solving the equation by removing the error:

Step 1: (Negative 9) (2 + two-fifths)

taking LCM of 2 and two-fifths (2/5)

Step 2: (Negative 9) (twelve-fifths)

Step 3: (Negative 9*twelve)-fifths

Step 4: Negative one hundred and eight- fifths

Solution: Negative StartFraction -108 over 5 EndFraction = Negative one hundred and eight- fifths

LenKa [72]

3x + 4y = 32....multiply by 5
5x + 5y = 50...multiply by -3
---------------
15x + 20y = 160 (result of multiplying by 5)
-15x - 15y = -150 (result of multiplying by -3)
--------------add
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2

3x + 4y = 32
3x + 4(2) = 32
3x + 8 = 32
3x = 32 - 8
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8

solution (8,2)

Answer:

$5\sqrt{10}\ units$

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ----> the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

$c=10\sqrt{5}\ units$

$a=b=x\ units$

substitute

$(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2$

$500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units$

Simplify

$x=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

Find the first partial derivative:<br><br> f(x, y) = y^5 -3xy

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Partial derivative is derivative over only 1 variable.
here we have 2 variables so it depends on which variable you want to make partial derivative.

case 1.
df/dx = -3y

case 2
df/dy = 5y^4 - 3x
