How can you use the multiplication property of equality to rewrite the equation 0.6x+4.8=7.2 so that the numbers in the problem

are intergers and not decimals?

We are given the equation:

0.6 x + 4.8 = 7.2

 

In this case, the multiplication property of equality states that whatever is multiplied on one side should also be multiplied on the other side. Now we need to find the number that will make everything a whole number, in this case 5. Multiply everything by 5:

5 * (0.6 x + 4.8 = 7.2)

3 x + 24 = 36

However we can see that we can still further simplify the equation by multiplying everything by 1/3:

(1/3) * (3 x + 24 = 36)

x + 8 = 12

or

x = 4

Four more than three times n equals -5
Verizon [17]
3n+4=-5

do the opposite of adding 4. this means you have to subtract 4 from 4. whatever you do to the problem, you must do to the answer. now subtract 4 from -5.

-5-4=-9

since 4-4=0, we can take 4 out of the equation. now you have:

3n=-9

now divide -9 by 3

-9/3=-3

n=-3

hope this helps :)

Use order of operations to simplify.<br><br> 4 - 10 + 12 / 3 + (7^2 - 7)
Usimov [2.4K]
Order of Operations = Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, PEMDAS. P= Parentheses E=Exponents M= Multiplication D= Division A= Addition and S= Subtraction in that order.

The answer
4-10+12/3+(7^2-7)
4-10+12/3+(49-7)
4-10+12/3+56
4-10+4+56
4-14+56
4-70
-66

-66 should be your answer if i’m not mistaken

Linear equation: -1
hoa [83]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 * (6x + 10) = 13

Distribute -1/2

–3x – 5 = 13

Add 5 to each side

-3x-5+5 = 13+5

–3x = 18

Divide each side by -3

-3x/-3 = 18/-3

x = -6

Y=3/4x - 4 finding slope and y-intercept showing work
andrey2020 [161]
This is written in slope intercept form, or y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y intercept. Just look at the values that represent m and b to find the answer.

Slope: 3/4
Y intercept: -4
