3. Error Analysis Isabel says that the equation x - 2 = -(x - 2) has nosolution because a number can never be equal to its opposite. Explain the
error Isabel made

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Given:

The equation is

(x-2)=-(x-2)

Isabel says that the given equation has no  solution because a number can never be equal to its opposite.

To find:

Isabel's mistake.

Solution:

Her reason "a number can never be equal to its opposite" is not correct.

Zero is a number that can be equal to its opposite.

So, the given equation has solution for which LHS=RHS=0.

We have,

(x-2)=-(x-2)

x-2=-(x)-(-2)

x-2=-x+2

Add x and 2 on both sides.

x-2+x+2=-x+2+x+2

2x=4

Divide both sides by 2.

x=(4)/(2)

x=2

So, the given equation has a solution x=2.

Heres a list of numbers 3 6 9 7 4 6 7 0 7 Find median,mean,range and mode

Answers

The median, mean, range and mode will be 6, 5.4, 9 and 7.

The median is the number in the middle when arranged in an ascending order. The numbers will be:

0, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 9.

The median is 6.

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest number which is: = 9 - 0 = 9

The mode is the number that appears most which is 7.

The mean will be the average which will be:

= (0 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 9) / 9.

= 49/9

= 5.4

Answer:

median=order them and find the middle=6

mean=add them all up and divide by the amount of numbers=(3+6+9+7+4+6+7+0 +7)/9=5.4

range= the difference between the smallest and largest number=9-3=6

mode= the one that appears the most= 7

5). my mother brought 3 3/4 kg of beef
2 3/5 kg of pork and 5 1/2 kg of chicken how many kilo grams of meat did she buy

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5 or 1

2) to do this problem you need to make the denominators the same

(2/3)4 (1/4)3 8/12- 3/12. = 5/12

3)likewise here, you only have to change one denomimator

5 3/10 - (2/5)2

5 3/10 - 4/10

now to make this easiee for myself I prefer to make it a mixed number so 5(10)+ 3 = 53/10

53/10 - 4/10 = 49/10 then we convert this back to a mixed number and thus

5 3/10 - 2/5 = 4 9/10

4) 23 (1/12)2 - x = (3 5/8)3

23 2/24 - x = 3 15/24

- 3 15/24 +x = -3 15/24 + x

19 21/24 = x

simplify 19 7/8 liters sold

5) 3 3/4 + 2 3/5 + 5 1/2 = 11 17/20

What is the greatest number that rounds to 500 when rounded to the nearest ten?

Answers

Answer:

504.999...

Step-by-step explanation:

505 rounds to 510, but a number that is infinitessimally smaller rounds to 500.

Unfortunately, for any number you can write that rounds to 500, there are an infinite number of numbers that are greater and still less than 505.

In short, there is no "greatest number" that is less than 505—unless you put additional restrictions on it, like the number of digits that can be used to express it, for example.

i believe the answer is 549.
