Answer:
1) -6·n - (-4·n) = -10·n (The double negative should change to positive + sign here)
-6·n - (-4·n) = -6·n + 4·n = -2·n
The correct solution is;
n = 4
2) y = 23.2 - 11.6 = 11.6, y = 11.6 (Seraphina's mistake is that subtraction was done rather than the division as shown here)
The correct solution is;
y = 2
Explanation:
The given parameters are
-6·n + 22 = -4·n + 14
22 - 14= 6·n - 4·n = 2·n
8 = 2·n
n = 8/2 = 4
Cullen's mistake is as follows;
-6·n + 22 = -4·n + 14
-6·n - (-4·n) = -22 + 14
-6·n + 4·n = -22 + 14 (The double negative should change to positive + sign here)
-2·n = -8
n = -8/(-2) = 4
n = 4
2) 8.4·y - 6.8 = -3.2·y + 16.4
8.4·y - (-3.2·y) = -(- 6.8) + 16.4
11.6·y = 23.2 → y = 23.2 - 11.6 = 11.6, y = 11.6 (Seraphina's mistake is that subtraction was done rather than the division as shown here)
y = 23.2/11.6 = 2
y = 2
3) The last equation has parts missing
