1. sam solved the following problem:

-4x + 5 > 29
-4x + 5 - 5 > 29 - 5
-4x > -24
-4x/-4 > -24/-4
x > 6

what were his two mistakes? (3 points)

2. hillary buys 3 pounds of gala apples and some granny smith apples. both kinds of apples cost $4.50 per pound. the total cost is $24.75. how many pounds of granny smith apples did hillary buy? write and solve a variable equation. show your work.
(4 points)

3. tell whether each equation has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. (3 points)

6x + 8 = 6(x + 2)
10x = 15 + 5x
x + 11 = 8x + 11 - 7x

(A) From above five steps , it is found that Sam made mistake at step ( I I I ) and step (I V) .

(B) The quantity of Granny smith apples bought is 2.5 pounds  .

(C) (i) The equation has No solution

    (ii) The equation has one solution

    (iii) The equation has infinite many solution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

(A) The inequality expression

( I )    -4 x + 5 > 29

( I I )    -4 x + 5 - 5 > 29 - 5            (Add - 5 both side )

( I I I ) -4 x + 0 > 24

(I V )    >       (Dividing both side by - 4 )

( V ) x > - 6

Hence, From above five steps , it is found that Sam made mistake at step ( I I I ) and step (I V) . Answer

(B) Given as :

The quantity of Gala apples bought = 3 pounds

Let The quantity of Granny smith apples bought = x pounds

The cost of Gala apples = $4.50 per pound

The cost of Granny smith apples = $4.50 per pound

The total cost of the both apples = $24.75

Now, According to question

The total cost of the both apples = quantity of Gala apples bought × cost of Gala apples + quantity of Granny smith apples bought × cost of Granny smith apples

i.e 3 pound × $4.50 per pound + x pound × $4.50 per pound = $24.75

Or, $13.5 + x pound × $4.50 per pound = $24.75

Or,  x pound × $4.50 per pound = $24.75 - $13.5

Or, x pound × $4.50 per pound = $11.25

Or, 4.50 x = 11.25

∴  x =

i.e x = 2.5

So, The quantity of Granny smith apples bought = x = 2.5 pounds

Hence,The quantity of Granny smith apples bought is 2.5 pounds  . Answer

(C) Given as

The linear equations are

(i) 6 x + 8 = 6 × (x + 2)

Rearranging the equation

6 x + 8 = 6 x + 12

Or, (6 x - 6 x) = 12 - 8

Or, 0 = 4

So, The equation has no-solution

(ii) 10 x = 15 + 5 x

Or, 10 x - 5 x = 15

Or, 5 x = 15

∴      x =

i.e  x = 3

So, The equation has one solution

(iii) x + 11 = 8 x + 11 - 7 x

Rearranging the equation

x + 11 = (8 x - 7 x) + 11

Or, x + 11 = x + 11

Or, x - x = 11 - 11

i.e 0 = 0

So, The equation has infinite many solution

Hence, (i) The equation has No solution

            (ii) The equation has one solution

            (iii) The equation has infinite many solution . Answer

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
