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.

lawyer [12517]
The formula for determining the number of ways to select two pairs of sneakers from three pairs labeled A, B, and C is represented by 3C2 (3 combinations of 2), which calculates as 3! / (2!(3 - 2)!) = 3! / (2! x 1!) = (3 x 2) / (2 x 1) = 3. Therefore, the sample space is S = {AB, AC, BC}.

Calvin deposits $400 in a savings account that accrues 5% interest compounded monthly. after c years, calvin has $658.80. makayl
lawyer [12517]
To calculate this, a specific formula will be necessary. Years = log (total/principal) / [n * log (1 + rate / n)]. Part A) For Calvin: $400 at 5% monthly results in $658.80; Time =? Monthly compounding, n = 12. Thus, Years = log(658.80/400) / [12 * log(1+ (.05/12))]. Subsequently, Years = log( 1.647) / (12 * log(1.0041666667)). Then, Years = 0.21669359917 / 12 * 0.0018058008777. Thus resulting in Years = 0.21669359917 / 0.0216696105. Ultimately, Years ≈ 9.999884362. Part B) For Makayla: $300 at 6% quarterly yields $613.04; Time=? Quarterly compounding, n = 4. Therefore, Years = log(613.04/300) / [4 * log (1 +.06/4)]. This results in Years = log(2.0434666667) / (4 * log(1.015)). Years thus equals 0.31036755784 / (4 * 0.0064660422492), resulting in Years ≈ 11.9999044949. The approximate difference is about 3 years.

A tank contains 24 gallons of water when all of a sudden the water begins draining at a constant rate of 2 gallons per hour. Let
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

a) V(t) = 24 - 2t

b) From t increasing from 3 to 6, v changes from 18 gallons to 12 gallons.

Detailed explanation:

The relationship between the tank’s volume and time is given by:

V(t) = V(0) - at

Where V(0) indicates the starting volume and a denotes the hourly decrease.

a. Create a formula for v in terms of t.

The tank starts with 24 gallons of water, hence V(0) = 24

It drains steadily at 2 gallons each hour, therefore a = 2

Then

V(t) = V(0) - at

V(t) = 24 - 2t

b. When t progresses from 3 to 6, v changes from _________ to _________

V(t) = 24 - 2t

V(3) = 24 - 2*3 = 18

V(6) = 24 - 2*6 = 12

So as t progresses from 3 to 6, v shifts from 18 gallons to 12 gallons.
