Given:
Total number of hours = 5
Number of hours on monday = 2 hours
Number of days = 4
Let's find the number of hours each day for the remaining 3 days of practice
Since he uses 2 hours on Monday, the number of hours remaining for the other 3 days will be:
5 - 2 = 3
This means the total number of hours for the remaining 3 days is 3 hours.
Since the practices for each of the 3 days are equal, we have:
[tex]\frac{3\text{ hours}}{3\text{ days}}=1\text{ hour per day}[/tex]The equaltion which can also be used to solve this problem is:
[tex]3x+2=5[/tex]Where:
x represents the practice time on each of the other 3 days.
To solve this equation, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x+2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ \\ \frac{3x}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ \\ x+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{5-2}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{3}{3} \\ \\ x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]The solution is x = 1
Therefore, the statement that is not true is:
C. The solution is x = 2
ANSWER:
C. The solution is x = 2
