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.

Which points are the verticles of the ellipse? Equations of ellipse
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

This question is solved in detail below. Please refer to the attachment for better understanding of an Ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, there is a spelling mistake. This is vertices not verticles.

So, I have attached a diagram of an ellipse in which it is clearly mentioned where are the vertices of an ellipse.

Vertices of an Ellipse: There are two axes in any ellipse, one is called major axis and other is called minor axis. Where, minor is the shorter axis and major axis is the longer one. The places or points where major axis and minor axis ends are called the vertices of an ellipse. Please refer to the attachment for further clarification.

Equations of an ellipse in its standard form:

\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} }  + \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1

This is the case when major axis the longer one is on the x-axis centered at an origin.

\frac{x^{2} }{b^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{a^{2} }  = 1

This is the case when major axis the longer one is on the y-axis centered at an origin.

where major axis length = 2a

and minor axis length = 2b
