Are the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 equivalent? explain why or why not.

1 answer:

6 0

No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.

Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.

Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.

Can someone explain how I multiply both sides ?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1 = 1/(x-2)

Multiply both sides by (x-2),

1*(x-2) = 1/(x-2) * (x-2)

x-2 = 1

Adding 2 on both sides,

x-2+2 = 1+2

x = 3

sasho [114]

Answer:

$6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\ 42 = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 14 \\ 42 = \frac{14b}{2} \\ 42 = 7b \\ \frac{42}{7} = \frac{7b}{7} \\ base = 6cm$
