Question

Emma read the statement "the quotient of six and a number, x, is the same as negative two times the difference of x and 4. 5. " She translated it as shown below. 6 x = negative 2 x minus 4. 5 What errors did Emma make? Select two options. She should have used division to represent the quotient of six and x. She should not have included an equal sign. She should have used parentheses to show that Negative 2 is multiplied by (x minus 4. 5). She should have subtracted the difference (x minus 4. 5) from Negative 2. She should have used parentheses to show that Negative 2 is multiplied by (4. 5 minus x).

Answer 1

This is wrong because the difference of x and 4.5 that is (x- 4.5) is negative two times that is -2(x -4.5). Then the correct option is C.

Emma read the statement "the quotient of six and a number, x, is the same as negative two times the difference of x and 4. 5. " She translated it as shown below.

$\rm 6 x = -2 x - 4. 5$

This is wrong because the difference of x and 4.5 that is (x- 4.5) is negative two times that is -2(x -4.5).

Thus, She should have used parentheses to show that Negative 2 is multiplied by (x minus 4. 5). Then the correct option is C.
