ANSWER

The substitution property of equality.

EXPLANATION

We know that:

$12x = 60$

and that

$x = 5$

Since x=5 or 5=x , we can substitute x for 5 wherever we see x in the given equation.

When we do that, we obtain;

$12 \bullet \: 5 = 60$

This is what we refer to as the substitution property of equality.

What is the length of the diagonal of a square with 8 foot sides?

devlian [24]

Using the Pythagorean Theorem,

a² + b² = c²

c² = 8² + 8²

c² = 64 + 64

c² = 128

c = √128

c =8√2 (radical form) or 11.31 feet (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 11.31 feet

Taye recruits two people to be election campaign volunteers. The next week he ask each of those volunteers to recruit two more c

Using a geometric sequence, it is found that:

a) For the first 5 weeks, the numbers are: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

b) Hence some of the volunteers can stop recruiting new volunteers during the 7th week.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1q^{n-1}$

In which $a_1$ is the first term.

For this problem, on the first week there are 2 people, and since each new people involve two more, the common ratio is of 2, hence the parameters for the geometric sequence are:

$a_1 = 2, q = 2$
