The correct answer is:  [C]:  "10" . 
____________________________________________________
    →  " x = 10 "  .
____________________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________________
 Given:
____________________________________________________
    →   (1/3) * (2x − 8) = 4  ;  Solve for "x" ; 
____________________________________________________
To get rid of the "fraction" ; multiple BOTH SIDE of the equation by "3" : 

   →   3 * { (1/3) * (2x − 8) } = 3 * 4 ; 

to get: 

 1(2x − 8) = 12 ; 

↔  2x − 8 = 12 ; 

Add "8" to BOTH SIDES of the equation ; 

 →  2x − 8 + 8 = 12 + 8 ;

to get:

→  2x = 20 ; 

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; 
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" 

→ 2x / 2  = 20/ 2 ; 

→  x = 10  ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [C]:  "10" .
________________________________________________
Let us check our answer:  " x = 10" ;  by plugging in "10" for all values of "x" into the original equation; to see if the answer holds true for the equation ; that is, to see if both sides of the equation are equal when "x = 10" ; 

The original equation:  " (1/3) * (2x − 8) = 4 " .

    →  (1/3) * [2(10) − 8)  =?  4 ?? ;

    →  (1/3) * [20 − 8)  =?  4 ?? ; 

    →  (1/3) * (12)  =?  4 ?? ;   Yes!

Test for the commutative property of union and intersection of the sets P = { x : x is all real numbers between 2 and 7} and Q =
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = {x : x is a real number between 2 and 7}

{x: 3,4,5,6}

Q = {x : x is all rational number between 2 and 7}

{4 }

We know that P contains all the rational numbers between 2 and 7.

And P ∪ Q and Q ∪ P each of them contain all the real numbers which are between 2 and 7.

{3,4,5,6}

Here Q is the proper subset of P

P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P = Q= {4}
