In the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first

step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain.

To determine who is accurate, consider the steps:

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

Spencer:
</span>Add 4x to both sides:
6x - 2 + 4x = -4x + 2 + 4x
Resulting in 10x - 2 = 2

Jeremiah:
Subtract 6x on both sides:
6x - 2 - 6x = -4x + 2 - 6x
Resulting in -2 = -10x + 2

Both methods are valid, but Jeremiah’s approach will require multiplying by -1 or adding 10x later, which Spencer’s method avoids initially.

Example response: Both approaches are correct since applying inverse operations and using properties of equality properly leads to the same answer. Each method isolates the variable on a single side.

Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the
tester [3938]
The recipe uses x cups of white flower together with 6 cups of wheat flower.

Therefore, the combined quantity of flower equals x+6

If y represents that combined amount, the equation to write is:
y=x+6

Constraints are as follows:
y can only be \geq 6

Note that if y = 0 then x would have to be -6, which is not possible.

Another project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,253% of their goal, raising a total of $313,490 from 7,511 supporters
Svet_ta [4341]

Answer:

The initial goal was $25019.154.

Step by step Explanation:

Assuming the original goal is denoted as x.

As stated

Another Kickstarter initiative for an iPad stylus secured 1,253% of its target, accumulating a total of $313,490.

1253% can be expressed as a decimal.

= \frac{1253}{100}

= 12.53

Thus, the equation is rearranged to

12.53 × x = 313490

12.53x = 313490

x = \frac{313490}{12.53}

x = $ 25019.154

This means the initial goal stands at $25019.154.
