Lance is solving the equation 2(2x + 1) - (3x - 5) = 17. His steps are shown below: Step 1: 4x + 2 - (3x - 5) = 17 Step 2: 4x + 2 - 3x - 5 = 17 Step 3: x + 2 - 5 = 17 Step 4: x - 3 = 17 Did Lance make a mistake? If so, in which step did he make the mistake and what was his mistake?

Lance made a mistake

His mistake was in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Lance made a mistake.

He made a mistake in step 2 of his solution.

The mistake he made was that he was supposed to open the bracket of -(3x-5) to give -3x + 5

The 5 is supposed to have a positive value and not a negative

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
