HOW CAN HE CHECK HIS ANSWER:
HE CAN CHECK HIS ANSWER BY PLUGGING IN HIS X VALUE, AFTER HE GETS THE CORRECT ANSWER.
SHOW THE CORRECT ANSWER:
3(3x+6) = 4(7x-1)
9x+18 = 28x-4
18 = 19x-4
22 = 19x
22/19 = x

CHECK:
3(22/19+6)/8 = 7(22/19-1)/6
45/38 = 45/38 ( Is true)

hope this helps!!

Answer from: Luciano4411

Well, first of all, the bottom 2 lines are cut off of the bottom of Max's solution,
and his final answer doesn't even appear there.

Here . . . let me complete it for you:
Under the part printed on the page should be:

   19 = 19x

   x = 1

Now that Max has an answer, he can check it by writing it into the
original equation wherever there's an 'x' there.

The original:    (3x-6) / 8 = (7x-1) / 6

With Max's answer written in: (3·1 - 6) / 8 = (7·1-1) / 6

Simplify the left side:    (3 - 6) / 8 = (7·1-1) / 6
-3/8 = (7·1-1) / 6

Simplify the right side: -3/8 = (7-1) / 6
-3/8 = 6 / 6
-3/8 = 1
This result is not a true statement,
so 'x' can't be ' 1 '.

We have to go back, look through Max's work, and find his mistake.
(Actually, Max won't learn anything that way ... MAX should be looking through
his work to find his mistake. But life is not always fair.)

The third line of Max's solution is 3 (3x + 6) = 4 (7x - 1)

Then he goes on to clear the
parentheses, and the next line is: 9x + 18 = 28x - 1

That's where his mistake is. The left side is correct,
but on the right side, Max distributed the '4' incorrectly.
Shame on Max.
This line should be    9x + 18 = 28x - 4 .

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
