where was the error made?

Sagot :

[tex]-2(8m+8)=-16_{\text{ }}step_{\text{ }}1[/tex]

using distributive property:

[tex]-16m-16=-16_{\text{ }}step_{\text{ }}2[/tex]

add 16 to both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -16m-16+16=-16+16 \\ -16m=0_{\text{ }}Step_{\text{ }}3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the errors are between steps 2 and 3

[tex]5(1+4h)+2h=27[/tex]

Use distributive property on the left hand side:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\cdot1+5\cdot4h+2h=27 \\ 5+20h+2h=27 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Add like terms:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5+(20h+2h)=27 \\ 5+22h=27 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5+22h-5=27-5 \\ 22h=22 \end{gathered}[/tex]

divide both sides by 22:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{22h}{22}=\frac{22}{22} \\ h=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
