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.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D = 90°

E = 147°

F = 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

E:

E is 147°, because it is vertical to the angle 147°

F:

F is 33°, because 147* is its supplementary angle, or angles that add up to 180°

D:

D is worth 90°, because its supplement is worth 90°

the vertices of ABC are points A(1,1), B(4,1), and C(4,5). find the cosines of the angles of the triangle.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

  • cos(A) = 3/5
  • cos(B) = 0
  • cos(C) = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between the cosine of an angle and the sides of the triangle.

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

__

<h3>Angle A</h3>

In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is AC. The side adjacent to angle A is AB, so its cosine is ...

  cos(A) = AB/AC

  cos(A) = 3/5

__

<h3>Angle B</h3>

The right angle in the triangle is angle B. The cosine of a right angle is 0.

  cos(B) = 0

__

<h3>Angle C</h3>

The side adjacent to angle C is CB, so its cosine is ...

  cos(C) = CB/AC

  cos(C) = 4/5
