<span>It must be the same as it was when constructing the arc above P.</span>
Answer:
p = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4
Find P
4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4
4 - 5p -15/5 = -4
4 - 5p - 3 = -4
-5p + 1 = -4
-5p = -4 - 1
-5p = -5
p = -5/-5
p = 1
Check:
4 - 5(p + 3/5) = -4
4 - 5(1 + 3/5) = -4
4 - 5 - 15/5 = -4
4 - 5 - 3 = -4
4 - 8 = -4
-4 = -4

Answer:
C, A, A
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, you ...
- identify the coefficients of one of the variables
- swap them, and negate one of them
- multiply the corresponding equations by the "adjusted" coefficients.

In problem 1, the x-coefficients are 8 and 2. A common factor of 2 can be removed so that we're dealing with the numbers 4 and 1. Assuming we want to multiply one of the equations by 1, leaving it unchanged, the value we want to multiply by will be -4. After we swap the coefficients, that multiplier is associated with equation 2:
multiply equation 2 by -4 . . . (eliminates x)
Likewise, the y-coefficients in problem 1 are -1 and 3. Again, if we want to multiply one of the equations by 1, leaving it unchanged, the coefficient we will change the sign of is -1 (becomes 1). After we swap the coefficients, the multiplier 3 is associated with equation 1:
multiply equation 1 by 3 . . . (eliminates y)
These two choices are B and A, respectively, so the one that does NOT work for problem 1 is choice C, as indicated below.

The other problems are worked in a similar fashion.
<span>a scalene triangle: a triangle where all the sides are different and all the angles are different.</span>
Multiply both sides by 2.
2m = a + b
Subtract both sides by b.
2m - b = a
