Fernando evaluated the expression below. StartFraction 5 (9 minus 5) over 2 EndFraction + (negative 2) (negative 5) + (negative

3) squared = StartFraction 5 (4) over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = 10 minus 10 + 9 = 9. What was Fernando's error?

Answer:

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

Fernando simplified StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction incorrectly.

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Fernando evaluated (negative 3) squared incorrectly.

Fernando's calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 - 10 + 9

= 20/2 - 10 + 9

= 10 - 10 + 9

= 9

Correct calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 + (10) + 9

= 20/2 + 10 + 9

= 10 + 10 + 9

= 29

Therefore,

Fernando's error was multiplying (-2)(-5) to be equal to -10 instead of 10

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. With the pass, matinees cost $1.00. If matinees are
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

In order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass Seth have to attend the movies for 11 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of movie pass = $40

Cost per matinees with pass = $1.00

Cost per matinees without pass = $3.50

To Find:

Number of times must Seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass = ?

Solution:

Let x be the number of times he wants to visit

To profit his father

The number of visits without pass =  the number of visits with passin the cost  of $3.50

Then, without pass if he visits for x times then the cost will be  = 3.50x

Also with pass, the number of times he can visit the pass  =  \frac{40}{3.50}

then

\frac{350 x}{3.50} = \frac{40}{3.50}

3.50x = 40

x = \frac{40}{3.50}

x =  11.42

x = 11 (approx)

Sam is packing gift boxes with fruit. For each apple he packs 3 plums and 5 oranges. If he puts 3 apples in a box, how many plum
Musya8 [376]
You can make an equation.

Let x=oranges
p=plums
n=apples

n= 3p + 5x

So basically we know 1 Apple means Sam will pack 3 plums and 5 oranges

To get 3n which means 3 apples we have to multiply the whole equation by 3


(n= 3p + 5x) x3


3n=9p+15x

So Sam will also put 9 plums and 15 oranges if he puts 3 apples in the box
