Short Answers (Explanation in next section below)

Reason A: Distributive Property

Reason B: Additive Property of Equality

Reason C: Combine like terms

Reason D: Additive Identity Property

----------------------------------------------------------

Further Explanation:

Reason A: The distributive property is the idea where we multiply a number by a block of values inside a parenthesis. In this case we have 3 outside the parenthesis multiplied by the x inside and the -4 inside as well. So 3 times x = 3x and 3 times -4 = -12 indicating that 3*(x-4) = 3*x+3*(-4) = 3x-12. Be sure to multiply the outer 3 by EVERY term inside the parenthesis. Often it is easy to forget a term inside.

Reason B: We are adding 12 to both sides. The goal is to have the -12 go away. Notice in the next line -12+12 = 0 which is effectively canceled out. Adding the same value to both sides is the Additive Property of Equality. It must be done to both sides to balance things out. The general rule is that if a = b, then a+c = b+c. We have added c to both sides.

Reason C: We just do arithmetic here. On the left side -12+12 turns into 0. On the right side 33+12 turns into 45. This is considered "combine like terms" as all of these terms have something in common: they don't have variables attached to them. Which is why they are common or like terms

Reason D: The additive identity property says that adding 0 to anything leads to the same thing as before. For example, adding zero to 5 gets us 5+0 = 5. Nothing has changed, which is what we expect. That's why 3x+0 turns into 3x. At this point, the -12 a few steps prior has been canceled out. In general, the additive identity property is x+0 = x or 0+x = x

Which quadratic function has one real solution? 0 = 2(x + 7)(x – 5) 0 = (x – 3)(x – 3) 0 = 2.4(x – 2)(x + 2) 0 = (x – 2)(x – 1)
NikAS [45]

0 = (x – 3)(x – 3)

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Solution is x = 3 (one real solution)

Answer

0 = (x – 3)(x – 3)

Q2 - With decimals
Mila [183]

Answer:

Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6

2(x - 9) + 6(-x + 2) + 4x

3x2 + 12 + 9x - 20 + 6x2 - x

(x + 2)(x + 4) + (x + 5)(-x - 1)

1.2(x - 9) - 2.3(x + 4)

(x2y)(xy2)

(-x2y2)(xy2)

Solution

Group like terms and simplify.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6 = (- 6x + 12x) + (5 - by

Solution

Use rules of exponential to simplify the numerator first.

(a b2)(a3 b) / (a2 b3) = (a4 b3) / (a2 b3)

Rewrite as follows.

(a4 / a2) (b3 / b3)

Use rule of quotient of exponentials to simplify.

= a2

Rewrite as follows.

(21 x5) / (3 x4) = (21 / 3)(x5 / x4)

Simplify.

= 7 x

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ]

Multiply terms in numerator and denominator and simplify.

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ] = (24 x4 y2) / (48 x2 y)

Rewrite as follows.

= (24 / 48)(x4 / x2)(y2 / y)

Simplify.

= (1 / 2) x2 y

Factor 4 out in the numerator.

(4x - 12) / 4 = 4(x - 3) / 4

Simplify.

= x - 3

Factor -5 out in the numerator.

(-5x - 10) / (x + 2) = - 5 (x + 2) / (x + 2)

Simplify.

= - 5

Factor numerator and denominator as follows.

(x2 - 4x - 12) / (x2 - 2x - 24) = [(x - 6)(x + 2)] / [(x - 6)(x + 4)]

Simplify.

= (x + 2) / (x + 4) , for all x not equal to 6

Solve for x the following linear equations.

2x = 6

6x - 8 = 4x + 4

4(x - 2) = 2(x + 3) + 7

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

- x / 5 = 2

(x - 4) / (- 6) = 3

(-3x + 1) / (x - 2) = -3

x / 5 + (x - 1) / 3 = 1/5

Solution

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and simplify.

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 8 + 8 = 4x + 4 + 8

6x = 4x + 12

Add - 4x to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 4x = 4x + 12 - 4x

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 and simplify.

x = 6

Expand brackets.

4x - 8 = 2x + 6 + 7

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 8 + 8 = 2x + 6 + 7 + 8

4x = 2x + 21

Add - 2x to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 2x = 2x + 21 - 2x

2x = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 21 / 2

Add 1.6 to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

0.1 x - 1.6 + 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3 + 1.6

0.1 x = 0.2 x + 3.9

Add - 0.2 x to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 0.2 x = 0.2 x + 3.9 - 0.2 x

- 0.1 x = 3.9

Divide both sides by - 0.1 and simplify.

x = - 39

Multiply both sides by - 5 and simplify.

- 5(- x / 5) = - 5(2

What is the y intercept of the line - 4 x + 6 y = - 12?

Solution

Set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

- 4 (0) + 6 y = - 12

6 y = - 12

y = - 2

y intercept: (0 , - 2)

What is the x intercept of the line - 3 x + y = 3?

Solution

Set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

- 3 x + 0 = 3

x = -1

x intercept: (-1 , 0)

What is point of intersection of the lines x - y = 3 and - 5 x - 2 y = - 22?

Solution

A point of intersection of two lines is solution to the equations of both lines. To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to solve the system of equations x - y = 3 and -5 x - 2 y = -22 simultaneously. Equation x - y = 3 can be solved for x to give

x = 3 + y

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation - 5 x - 2 y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation -5 x - 2 y = - 22 and solve for y

x = 3 + y = 3 + 1 = 4

Point of intersection: (4 , 1)

For what value of the constant k does the line - 4 x + k y = 2 pass through the point (2,-3)?

Solution

For the line to pass through the point (2,-3), the ordered pair (2,-3) must be a solution to the equation of the line. We substitute x by 2 abd y by - 3 in the equation.

- 4(2) + k(-3) = 2

Solve the for k to obtain

k = - 10 / 3

What is the slope of the line with equation y - 4 = 10?

Solution

Write the given equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the slope m.

y = 14

It is a horizontal line and therefore the slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of the line with equation 2 x = -8?

Solution

The above equation may be written as

x = - 4

It is a vertical line and therefore the slope is undefined.

Find the x and y intercepts of the line with equation x = - 3?

Solution

The above is a vertical line with x intercept only given by

(-3 , 0)

Find the x and y intercepts of the line with equation 3 y - 6 = 3?

Solution

The given equation may be written as

y = 3

The above is a horizontal line with y intercept only given by

(0 , 3)

What is the slope of a line parallel to the x axis?

Solution

A line parallel to the x axis is a horizontal line and its slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the x axis?

Solution

A line perpendicular to the x axis is a vertical line and its slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1
