If you would like to know who is correct, you can find this using the following step:

<span>6x - 2 = -4x + 2

Spencer: 
</span>6x - 2 = -4x + 2       /+4x
6x - 2 + 4x = -4x + 2 + 4x
10x - 2 = 2

Jeremiah:
6x - 2 = -4x + 2      /-6x
6x - 2 - 6x = -4x + 2 - 6x
-2 = -10x + 2

They both are correct. But in Jeremiah's version of solving the equation, we would have to multiply equation by -1 (or add 10x to both sides), which we don't have to do in the Spencer's version.

Sample Response: Both are correct. As long as inverse operations and the properties of equality are used properly, both methods will generate the same solution. They both isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Joni has a circular garden with a diameter of 14 1/2 feet if she uses 2 teaspoons of fertilizer for every 25 square feet of gard
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

13.20 teaspoon of fertiliser needed for entire garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the garden = 14.50 ft

Radius of the garden = 7.25 ft

Area

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]A=3.14 \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

Hence

[tex]A=165.046[/text]

Area is 165.046 Sq Ft

For 25 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 2 tea spoon

For 1 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2}{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2 \times 165.046 }{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 13.20 tea spoon

As an architect, you are designing a new house. a window has a height between 150  cm  and 160  cm and a width between 82  cm  a
dalvyx [7]
We can write the statement above using inequalities. Let's name:

x: The <span>height of a window (in cm)
y: The width of a window (in cm)

Then writing those statements as equations:

</span>150 \leq x \leq 160

70 \leq y \leq 82

So the area is given by the equation:

A=xy in cm^{2}

10500 \leq A \leq 13120

So there are a variety of figures we can choose as long as the area is between 10500cm^{2} and 13120cm^{2}
