24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
The frist line may be one with the numbers 0, 1 and 2 and 10 divisions (marks at equal distance) between each integer. Each division will be equal to 0.1 units and then you can mark the second division from the zero point to the right as the 0.20 mark.
The other line must have the same integers, 0 , 1 and 2 placed in identical form as the first line. Then
- draw an inclined straight line since the point zero,
- mark 5 points in the inclined lined equally spaced over the line.
- draw a sttraight line from the 5th point to the point with the mar 1 over the base number line.
- draw a parallel line to the previous one passing trhough the second point of the inclined line and mark the point where this parallel touchs the base number line. This point shall be at the same distance from zero than the 0.2 mark was in the first number line, meaning that 0.2 and 1/5 are equivalent.
1. 12*100 - 12*5
You would use the distributive property to get this equation (it is equivalent to the original one)
2. Um... There's no actual story for this problem; sorry I can't solve this problem
The complement of 'x' degrees is (90 - x) degrees.
The supplement of 'x' degrees is (180 - x) degrees.
1 in 100 or 1/100 would be the probability
