In Step 1, she used the Distributive Property incorrectly. She should have distributed the 3 to the 2. The equation should have been

3x + 6 + 1 = 24.

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60÷5 60 ÷ 5 in this context. Fi

Afina-wow [57]

The second question:

Consider the division expression $7\frac{1}{2} / 2$ . Select all multiplication equations that correspond to this division expression.

$2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ $7\frac{1}{2} * ?= 2$ $? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$

$2* 7\frac{1}{2} = ?$ $? * 7\frac{1}{2} = 2$

Answer:

1. See Explanation

2. $2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ and $? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

$Students = 60$

$Group = Equal\ Sized$

Required

Interpret $\frac{60}{5}$ in 2 ways

<u>Interpretation 1:</u> Number of groups if there are 5 students in each

<u>Interpretation 2:</u> Number of students in each group if there are 5 groups

<u>Solving the quotient</u>

$Quotient = \frac{60}{5}$

$Quotient = 12$

<u>For Interpretation 1:</u>

The quotient means: 12 groups

<u>For Interpretation 2:</u>

The quotient means: 12 students

Solving (b):

Given

$7\frac{1}{2} / 2$

Required

Select all equivalent multiplication equations

Let ? be the quotient of t $7\frac{1}{2} / 2$

So, we have:

$7\frac{1}{2}/2 = ?$

Multiply through by 2

$2 * 7\frac{1}{2}/2 = ? * 2$

$7\frac{1}{2} = ? * 2$

Rewrite as:

$? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$ --- This is 1 equivalent expression

Apply commutative law of addition:

$2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ --- This is another equivalent expression

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$
