Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five Step 1: He should have subtracted 16 from each side. Step 1: He should have divided both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have multiplied both sides by −5. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by −5.

The correct answer is : Step 3: He should have divided both sides by -5 because in order to isolate x from -5x, you must divide its coefficient, which is -5. Dividing 5 from both sides leaves -1x or -x.

5 is not a function because if you draw a vertical line then it touches twice which is not a function

6 is a function

7 is not a function because there are 2 of the same inputs

8 is a function because it passes the vertical line test

9 is not a function

10 is a function

Hopefully that helped!

Given: m∠1 = 140°, find m∠6.<br> A) 40° <br> B) 50° <br> C) 90° <br> D) 140°
laila [671]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line the angle of 1 will be equal to 4, 5, and 8. The angle 2 will be equal to 3, 6, and 7. Since a straight line has a degree of 180, the subtracted degree of 180-140=40 which would mean 2=40 which 2=6 so 6=40.

Gnom [1K]
1 yard= 36 inches
10 yards* 36= 360 inches.
360 inches= 360 inches

So, 10 yards and 360 inches are equal.
