The two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

<h3>How to determine which two options are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

Negative one-half (x + 4) = 6

Rewrite the above equation properly

So, we have

-1/2(x + 4) = 6

A possible first step is to multiply both sides of the equation -1/2(x + 4) = 6 by -2

So, we have

x + 4 = -12

Another possible first step is to distribute the expression -1/2(x + 4) in the equation

So, we have

-1/2x - 1/2 * 4 = 6

Hence, the two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

Jason wanted to place all 540 marbles in the 3 newly bought boxes. If he wants to
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.

Step-by-step explanation:

Division in a ratio of 1:2:3

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

So

The first box will have 1/6 of the marbles.

The second box will have 2/6 = 1/3 of the marbles

The third box will have 3/6 = 1/2 of the marbles.

First box:

One sixth, so:

(1/6)*540 = 540/6 = 90

Second box:

One third, so:

(1/3)*540 = 540/3 = 180

Third box:

One half, so:

(1/2)*540 = 540/2 = 270

The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
