Liliana solved the equation below. When she tried to verify her answer, she realized she made an error. One-third (x + 18) = 7
One-third x + 6 = 7
One-third x + 6 minus 6 = 7 + 6
One-third x = 1
x = 3
The first step should be One-third x + 54 = 7.
The second step should be One-third x + 6 minus 6 = 7 minus 6.
The third step should be One-third x = 13.
The final step should be x = one-third.
Which correction should Liliana make?

In triangle abc segment de is parallel to the side ac . (the endpoints of segment de lie on the sides ab and bc respectively). find de, if ac=20cm, ab=17cm, and bd=11.9cm;

The triangles are similar. what is the value of x? show your work.

Jace wrote a sentence as an equation. 56 is 14 more than a number. 14+ = 56 which statement best describes jace's work? jace is not correct. the phrase more than suggests using the symbol > and jace did not use that symbol. jace is not correct. he was correct to use addition, but the equation should be 56+ p = 14 jace is not correct. the first number in the sentence is 56, so the equation should start with 56. jace is correct. the phrase more than suggests addition, so jace showed that 14 plus a variable equals 56. o
