The correct value is 2.
The correct approach involves distributing the −3-3 into the parentheses to get 7−3p−67 - 3p - 6, combining like terms to get 1−3p1 - 3p, and then balancing the equation to solve for pp. Adding 3p3p to both sides yields 1=4p−71 = 4p - 7, and adding 77 gives 8=4p8 = 4p, which simplifies to p=2p = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation.
7−3p−6=p−77 - 3p - 6 = p - 7
The -3 must be multiplied by both pp and 22 to eliminate the parentheses.

Cevap

The correct solution is 12.
The correct solution is found by systematically applying the distributive property to eliminate parentheses, combining the constant terms, grouping the variable terms on one side, and fully isolating the variable. Following these steps accurately yields a value of 12.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation.
34m−6+2=12m−1 \frac{3}{4}m - 6 + 2 = \frac{1}{2}m - 1
This removes the parentheses by multiplying the fraction through the terms inside.
2
Combine the constant terms on the left side.
34m−4=12m−1 \frac{3}{4}m - 4 = \frac{1}{2}m - 1
Simplifying the expressions on both sides makes it easier to isolate the variable.
3
Subtract 12m \frac{1}{2}m from both sides to group the variable terms.
14m−4=−1 \frac{1}{4}m - 4 = -1
This places all terms containing the variable on one side of the equation. (Note: 34m−24m=14m \frac{3}{4}m - \frac{2}{4}m = \frac{1}{4}m )
4
Add 4 to both sides to isolate the variable term.
14m=3 \frac{1}{4}m = 3
This cancels out the constant on the left side, leaving only the variable term.

A fitness center offers two membership plans. Plan A requires a one-time enrollment fee of 4545 dollars and costs 3030 dollars per month. Plan B requires a one-time enrollment fee of 105105 dollars and costs 2020 dollars per month. For how many months of membership will the total cost of both plans be exactly the same?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The plans will cost the exact same amount at 6 months.
Setting the cost of Plan A (45+30m45 + 30m) equal to the cost of Plan B (105+20m105 + 20m) creates the equation 45+30m=105+20m45 + 30m = 105 + 20m. By isolating the variable, we find that 10m=6010m = 60, which simplifies to m=6m = 6. Therefore, it takes exactly 66 months for both memberships to cost the same.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define the variable and formulate a one-variable linear equation.
45+30m=105+20m45 + 30m = 105 + 20m
To determine when the total costs are equal, the cost expression for Plan A (4545 fee plus 3030 per month) must be set equal to the cost expression for Plan B (105105 fee plus 2020 per month).
2
Subtract 20m20m from both sides of the equation.
45+10m=10545 + 10m = 105
This groups all terms containing the variable mm on one side of the equation.
3
Subtract 4545 from both sides of the equation.
10m=6010m = 60
This isolates the variable term by moving all constant values to the opposite side of the equation.
4
Divide both sides by 1010.
m=6m = 6
Dividing by the coefficient of the variable provides the final numerical solution for the unknown.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The correct answer is 9.
The correct answer is found by properly executing the distributive property on both sides to clear the parentheses. On the left side, 3/5 is distributed to yield 6m - 9. On the right side, 1/2 is distributed to yield 4m + 7. After combining the remaining like terms, the equation simplifies to 2m - 9 = 4m - 27. Adding 27 and subtracting 2m from both sides gives 18 = 2m, which simplifies to m = 9.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the fractions into the parentheses on both sides of the equation.
6m−9−4m=4m+7−346m - 9 - 4m = 4m + 7 - 34
The distributive property must be applied first to expand the expressions and eliminate the parentheses.
2
Combine like terms on each side of the equal sign.
2m−9=4m−272m - 9 = 4m - 27
Simplifying each side individually makes it easier to isolate the variable in subsequent steps.
3
Subtract 2m from both sides.
−9=2m−27-9 = 2m - 27
This gathers all variable terms on one side of the equation.
4
Add 27 to both sides and divide the result by 2.
18=2m18 = 2m, which means m=9m = 9
This isolates the variable completely and provides the final solution.
