Answer:
The first one is equivalent [the 6x+48 = 2(3x+24)] and the second one is <u>NOT</u> equivalent [the 7x+21 ≠ 2(5x+3)]
Step-by-step explanation:
Just follow distributive property to solve these. You can ignore the first expression in both until you have to compare the answers.
1. 6x+48 and 2(3x+24)
2(3x+24) ---> 2(3x) + 2(24) ---> <u>6x + 48</u>
Bring in the first expression ~ <u>6x+48 and 6x+48 </u>
They are the same, so they are equivalent
2. 7x+21 and 2(5x+3)
2(5x+3) ---> 2(5x) + 2(3) ----> 10x + 6
Bring in the first expression ~ <u>7x+21 and 10x + 6</u>
They are NOT the same, so they are NOT equivalent
You are right. Transitivity means, that:
if a = b and b = c, then a = c
(here a = x, b=5 and c = y).
Answer:
$293.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question: A cell phone is on sale for 30% off. Find the original price if the sale price of the cell phone is $205.50.
Given: Sale price of cell phone is $205.50
Discount= 30%
As 30% discount is given on original price or we can say 70% of original price is $205.50.
∴ Let the original price be x.
⇒ 
Now, cross multiplying both side.
⇒ 
∴ x= $293.6
The original price of cell phone is $293.6.

Step-by-step explanation:
The directions tell you what you need to know. It is a matter of adding up the values shown and finding the missing number to make the total be -20. Of course, it works best to start with a row, column, or diagonal that has 4 numbers already.Then, you're only finding the 5th number.
You can start with either diagonal, column 1 or 4, and row 4 or 5. Filling the missing numbers in those spots (red) will let you find the remaining missing numbers (green, then blue).
The square at row 2, column 2 can be filled on the first round using the down-right diagonal. I have shown it as filled on the second round after row 5 column 2 is filled.
Using a spreadsheet can make this easier, because you can write formulas for the sums in each row, column, and diagonal. Then you're just making those sums be -20.
___
For example, consider the up-right diagonal. The sum of the given values, -6, 0, -4, -2, is -12. Then the spot at row 1, column 5 must be filled with -8 to make the sum be -20.
