Eoin plans to purchase 6.50 pounds of cheese that costs $4.75 per pound. he used the following steps to estimate the cost
step 1: round 6.50 pounds up to 7.
step 2: round $4.75 up to $5.00.
step 3: multiply 5 by 7 to get 35.
step 4: conclude that the cost will be just over $35.00.
in which step does eoin make a mistake?
in step 1, he should have rounded the weight down to 6 pounds.
in step 2, he should have rounded the cost down to $4.00.
in step 3, he chose the wrong operation to calculate cost.
in step 4, he should have concluded the cost would be under $35.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1, he should have multiplied 4.75 by 6.50

Step 2, he should have gotten 30.875

Step 3, he should round up 5 to 7 making 7 a 8

Step 4, he should have gotten the cost $30.88

Step-by-step explanation:

He rounded up there fore its cost should be under 35

5x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

you should always add the diagrams and graphs we cannot see. this particular question is kind of borderline because we can make a graph for you.

(f + g)x = -x^2 +3x + 5 + x^2 + 2x

(f + g)x = 5x + 5

the graph of z = 5x + 5 is shown below. always use desmos when in doubt.

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
