Labron makes $100 per week and takes no vacation during the entire year. His friend, Jordan, makes $4800 per year at the same weekly rate. Jordan takes x vacation weeks per year. Note: There are 52 weeks in a year. This equation represents how to find Jordan's number of vacation weeks. 100 (52 - x) = 4800 Labron says that Jordan takes 4 weeks of vacation each year. Is he correct? Check all that apply. Yes, he is correct because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a true statement. Yes, he is correct because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a false statement. No, he is incorrect because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a true statement. No, he is incorrect because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a false statement.

Lillie Mcguire · Answer 1

Yes, he is correct, because substituting x=4 into the equation yielded a true statement, because if you substitute the 4 in then you will get 4800

Bullock · Answer 2

Yes, he is correct because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is 100 (52 - x) = 4800

Isolating x

52 - x = 48

-x=48-52

x=4

Is correct what Labron says, that Jordan takes 4 weeks of vacation.

The options that apply is:

Yes, he is correct because substituting x = 4 into the equation yielded a true statement.
