Why is it necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals l sign when solving an equations

Take this example (cause it's easy to explain)

10+5x=15x

To solve it we have to minus five on both side. We have to do this because we need to isolate the variable (in this case x) on the one side so we can divide and solve.

You would -5x (inverse from positive 5) from both sides on this because whatever you do to one side you have to do to the others to make it equal. In this case the answer would be x=1 (again cause it's easy lol.)

I hope this helps you!

What is the vertex of the graph of y = −1(x − 2)2 + 3?<br> (3,-2)<br> (-2,3)<br> (3,2)<br> (2,3)
aleksley [76]
The vertex form is y=a(x-h)²+k
the vertex is (h,k)
so

y=-1(x-2)²+3
compare to
y=a(x-h)²+k
2=h and 3=k
the vertex is  (2,3)

You randomly pick two numbers from 1 to 9 (including 1 and 9). A number that is chosen once could be chosen again. If at least o
Mnenie [13.5K]
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3

3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
