Looking at the problem statement, the question is asking for us to determine the justification for the steps that are used to help solve the equation.  We are given the expression x + 17 = 38 to help achieve that goal.

Now that we know what we must do to finish this problem let us look how this equation can be solved.  When the term solve the equation is used it refers to us solving for the unknown, in this case being the variable x.  We can see that we have x + 17 on the left side and in order to solve the equation x must be alone so we would subtract 17 from both sides.

<u>Subtract 17 from both sides</u>

  • x + 17 = 38
  • x + (17 - 17) = (38 - 17)
  • x = (38 - 17)
  • x = 21

Therefore, we know that we must subtract the same number from both sides and this justification is known as the Subtraction Property of Equality.  This basically states that an equal value needs to be subtracted from both sides and it will become a new equation but with the same result.

Answer:

Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x + 17 = 38

Algebraic Properties:

<u>Addition</u>: If a = b, then a + c = b + c

<u>Subtraction</u>: If a = b, then a - c = b - c

<u>Multiplication</u>: If a = b, then ac = bc

<u>Division</u>: If a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

To solve this equation, we know that we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we need to subtract 17 from both sides to isolate x.

This is also known as the subtraction property of equality, which states that when the same thing is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the equation will still be balanced. 

Subtract 17 from both sides:

x + 17 - 17  = 38 - 17

⟹ x = 21

Therefore, the subtraction property of equality is included in the steps used to solve this equation.

schepotkina [342]

1500 members have a contributor  membership.

64.8% of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are 20,000 members of a zoo.

⇒ Total members = 20,000

From the graph shown,

7.5% of the members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the number of members who have contributor  membership :</u>

⇒ 7.5% of 20,000

⇒ (7.5/100) × 20,000

⇒ 7.5 × 200

⇒ 1500 members.

Therefore, 1500 members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships :</u>

The percentage of noncontributory  memberships = 100% - 7.5% ⇒ 92.5%

The percentage of individual memberships = 60%

∴ What percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships ⇒ (60 / 92.5) × 100 = 64.8%

A right triangle has a leg that measures 15 ft and the hypotenuse measures 24 ft. What would the
Serhud [2]

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you place the numbers in place of the variables in their relative positions using the pythagorean theorem:

15^{2} +x^{2}=24^{2}

Then you square the numbers that you currently have:

225+x^{2}=576

Then subtract 225 from both sides to isolate the x:

x^{2} =576-225

This gives you the equation:

x^{2} =351

Then take the square root of both sides which gives you:

x=18.7349939952

Then round to the nearest whole number which gives you x=19
