qa2.

look at the way that samuel answered the question above.

a)explain his mistake in complete sentences.

b) explain how to solve the equation correctly.

Shira: x = 8

Samuel: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.

Correct Solving:

2x - 2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2;

x = 8

Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.

Correct Solving:

-2(8m + 8) = -16

Distribute;

-16m - 16 = -16

Add 16 to both sides;

-16m = 0

Divide both sides by -16;

m = 0

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
