y = 12x
y = 12x

y = 4/3 x
y = 4/3 x

y = ¾ x
y = ¾ x

y = 2x -4
y = 2x -4

1 answer

Question 1

To solve the equation \(4y = 3x\) for \(y\):

  1. Divide both sides by 4:
    \[ y = \frac{3x}{4} \]
    Alternatively, this can be written as \(y = \frac{3}{4}x\).

The correct answer is y = ¾ x.

Question 2

Let's check the process step-by-step:

  1. Step 1:
    \(2x + b - b = c - b\) is correct since we are subtracting \(b\) from both sides.

  2. Step 2:
    \(2x = c - b\) is also correct as the \(b\) cancels out on the left side.

  3. Step 3:
    The proposed step is \(2x - 2 = c - b - 2\), but this is incorrect. You should not subtract 2 from \(2x\) unless you intend to do so on both sides of the equation.

  4. Step 4:
    The final statement \(x = \frac{c}{2} - b - 2\) is also incorrect because of the error made in Step 3.

From the analysis:

  • There is no error in the process: False
  • The process has an error from step 1 to step 2: False
  • The process has an error from step 2 to step 3: True
  • The process has an error from step 3 to step 4: True

So, the true statements are:

  • The process has an error from step 2 to step 3.
  • The process has an error from step 3 to step 4.
