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.

What is the answer to 6/5= 2/5n and tell me how you got the answer
alina1380 [7]
\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5} n

First, simplify \frac{2}{5} n to \frac{2n}{5} / Your problem should look like: \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2n}{5} 
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: 6 = 2n
Third, divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: \frac{6}{2} = n
Fourth, simplify \frac{6}{2} to 3. / Your problem should look like: 3 = n
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: n = 3

Answer: n = 3

20 POINTS * A circle has a radius of 6. An arc in this circle has a central angle of 48°
storchak [24]

Answer:

\frac{8\pi}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a degree we going to use the arc length formula

2\pi \times( r)( \frac{x}{360)}

where x is the central angle measure and r is the radius.

The radius is 6 and the central angle is 48 so let plug that in the formula

2\pi \times (6)( \frac{48}{360} )

Multiply 2 pi by 6

12\pi \times ( \frac{48}{360} )

12\pi \times  \frac{4}{30}

\frac{12\pi}{1}  \times  \frac{4}{30}  =  \frac{48\pi}{30}

\frac{8\pi}{5}
