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

Answer:

(6,20) because both lines pass through this point

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you can use the substitution method.

Since both of them are equal to y, substitute one of the equations for y, that way you have x+14 = 3x+2. From here you continue to simplify.

Eliminate x from either side of the equation. For example, subtract x from the side that says "x+14". (Make sure you are also subtracting it from the other side of the equal sign as well.

Once you do this you should now have 14 = 2x+2

In order continue, you now have to get x by itself. So now subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. After doing this, you should have 12 = 2x

You then simplify x by dividing both sides by 2. This will get you x = 6

Now that you have the x-value, substitute that into either of the two equations (it is recommended you substitute it into both equations to make sure you have the correct x-value). For example: If I substitute x into Line C's equation, I will now have y = 6 + 14.

6 + 14 is 20, therefore you're y-value is y = 20

A: a line passes through the point (2,8) and is parallel to y=3x+10 write the equation of the line in y=mx+b form
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
ANSWER:
a. y=3x+2
b. y=-1/2x-1

find the y intercepts that fit with the coordinates and for a parallel line the slope stays the same, while for a perpendicular line the slope flips and turns into the opposite symbol.

Can someone help me please 
gayaneshka [121]
Wow !  If I understand what's go0ing on here, then
we have to be careful, and THINK .

I was going to ask you "What does  Ф  mean ?", and then I realized,
Ф is a new operation that the teacher invented.

The first line on the board is the definition of Ф .

Ф means "<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4</u>."

Now you have to use this new invention to find the value
of the second line:

Take care of the stuff inside the parentheses first: ( 4 Ф 2 )
<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4
</u>4 + 2 - 4 = <u>2</u><u>
</u>That's the part inside the parentheses. It's <span><u>2</u> .</span><u>

</u>NOW, we have to do the new operation with the 2 inside,
and the 3 that's outside the parentheses:<u>

</u>3 Ф 2
<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4</u>
3 + 2 - 4 =<u> 1</u>

And that's the final value of 3 Ф (4 Ф 2) .  It's <u>1</u> .

Pretty sneaky.

<u />
