Answer:

b.) Subtracting 5 then dividing both sides by -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

⇒ -2x + 5 = 9

To solve this equation, first we need to remove the 5 on the left side. Then divide both sides by -2.

When done so:

⇒ -2x = 9 - 5

⇒ -2x = 4

⇒ -2x/-2 = 4/-2

⇒ x = -2

What is 28 tiles in 7 ros. (It has to be a divison equation)
raketka [301]

If 28 tiles is placed in 7 rows then each row has 4 tiles.

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

The total number of tiles given =28.

The number of rows = 7.

The number of tiles in each row is given by diving the total number of tiles given by the number of rows.

No of tiles in each row= \frac{total number of tiles}{number of rows}.

No of tiles in each row = \frac{28}{7}.

No of tiles in each row = 4.

Note: You can replace the values according to the given values.

1. Kalena was asked to prove ifx(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X represents a polynomial identity. She
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C. Kalena made a mistake in Step 3. The justification should state: -x²

+ x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function x(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X

To justify kelena proof

We will need to show if the two equations are equal.

Starting from the RHS with function x³-x

First we will factor out the common factor which is 'x' to have;

x(x²-1)

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Note that for two real number a and b, the expansion of a²-b² using difference vof two square will give;

a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b) hence;

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Factorising x(x+1) gives x²+x, therefore

x(x+1)(x-1) = (x²+x)(x-1)

(x²+x)(x-1) = x³-x²+x²-x

The function x³-x²+x²-x gotten shows that kelena made a mistake in step 3, the justification should be -x²+x² not -x-x²
