Answer:
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.
Given:
2x + 6y = 12
where
x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts
The correct solution to the problem
x = 3 pounds
2x + 6y = 12
2(3) + 6y = 12
6 + 6y = 12
Subtract 6 from both sides
6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6
6y = 6
Divide both sides by 6
y = 6/6
= 1
y = 1 pound
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.
= 10 - 2x
Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.
= 10 + 4x
Equating both Equations together
10 - 2x = 10 + 4x
10 - 10 = 4x - 2x
How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?
Let the time = x
Answer:
Answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we would be examining the validity of some statements on the number π(pi)
π Is a whole number?
This is wrong, π is a fraction of 22 to 7 parts I.e 22/7
π Is double the radius?
This is wrong. It is the diameter that is double the radius
π Is approximately 3.14?
This is correct to an extent. The actual value in decimal is around 3.142857142857143 which makes the 3.14 somehow correct
π represents the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter?
This is correct.
Mathematically, circumference C = π * diameter D
Hence C/D = π
π Is approximately 22/7?
This is correct. This is the ratio used for π
property can increase or decrease in value in expectation of something in the....
Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.
To convert a decimal to a percent, you have to make the decimal a whole number by getting rid of the decimal point, and then at a % sign.
0.125 ===> 125
125 ===> 125%
Hope this helped!! ☺♥
