Answer:
- Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).
Explanation:
Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).
The congruency symbol (≅) means that the elements (segments, angles or figures in general) have the same measure, i.e. they have equal lengths for the segments or equal measure for the angles.
For instance, it is an error saying that the segment AB is equal to the segment BC because, as you clearly see in the picture, they are not same; they have the same length but they are joining different points, that makes them different in essence, although they have the same length. They would be equal only if they are the same figure.
In mathematics, you must not say that two different segments or two different angles are equal but they are congruent, which means that their lengths are equal. The use of equal is reserved for numbers and variables, not for figures like segment, points, angles, polygons.

In order to find the sum of the given rational expressions above, here are the steps.
Firstly, you need to find the LCM of the least common denominator.
So it would look like this:
<span>3x-1 + 3x (3x-1)(x-1) + (2x)(3x)
------ ------- = ---------------------------
2x x-1 2x(x-1)
3x^2-4x+1+6x^2
----------------------
2x(x-1)
And the final result would be this:
9x^2-4x+1
--------------
2x(x-1)
</span>9x^2-4x+1
--------------
2x^2-2x
<span>
Hope that this is the answer that you are looking for.

The second question:
Consider the division expression 
. Select all multiplication equations that correspond to this division expression.
Answer:
1. See Explanation
2. and
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a):
Given
Required
Interpret 
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>
<u>For Interpretation 1:</u>
The quotient means: 12 groups
<u>For Interpretation 2:</u>
The quotient means: 12 students
Solving (b):
Given
Required
Select all equivalent multiplication equations
Let ? be the quotient of t
So, we have:
Multiply through by 2
Rewrite as:
--- This is 1 equivalent expression
Apply commutative law of addition:
--- This is another equivalent expression
