Answer:

  FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the distributive property on the left side gives ...

  2x +16 = 2x -8

Subtracting 2x from both sides gives ...

  16 = -8 . . . . a FALSE statement

The given statement is false.

In the diagram provided, line I is parallel to line m. Select which of the following statements could be used to prove that
atroni [7]
<h3>Answer: There is only one answer and it is choice B</h3><h3>Angle 1 and angle 4 are alternate interior angles</h3>

========================================================

Explanation

  • A. This is false because it should be angle 4 + angle 5 = 180 without the angle 6. Adding on angle 6 results in some angle larger than 180. Note how angle 5 = (angle 3)+(angle 6).
  • B. This is true and useful to showing that the three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. This is because you'll use the fact that angles 4, 5 and 6 combine to 180 degrees.
  • C. While this is a true statement by the exterior angle theorem, it is not useful to the proof. It is better to state that angle 2 and angle 6 are congruent because they are alternate interior angles.
  • D. Like choice C, it is true but not useful. It's better to say that angle 1 is congruent to angle 4. See choice B above.

Note how it's not enough for a statement to be true. It also needs to be relevant or useful to the context at hand. A more simpler example of this could be stating that x+x = 2x.

In an endurance race, Rachel ran
Reil [10]

Answer:

31\frac{1}{5}\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

The distance is equal to multiply the speed by the time

we have

speed=9\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{miles}{hour}

time=3\frac{1}{4}\ hours

distance=(9\frac{3}{5})(3\frac{1}{4})

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

9\frac{3}{5}=9+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9*5+3}{5}=\frac{48}{5}

3\frac{1}{4}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3*4+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}

substitute

distance=(\frac{48}{5})(\frac{13}{4})=\frac{624}{20}=31,2\ miles

Convert to mixed number

31.2\ mi=31+0.2=31+\frac{1}{5}=31\frac{1}{5}\ miles

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day which expression shows how to find the number of cups of water she drinks in a week
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

56 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day

We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:

1 day = 0.5 gallons

7 days = x

Cross Multiply

1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons

x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day

x = 3.5 gallons

Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon

The number of cups of water she drinks per week is

1 gallon = 16 cups

3.5 gallons = x

Cross Multiply

1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups

x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons

x = 56 cups

Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week
