Answer:
A. subtraction
B. division
C. multiplication
D. addition
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.
A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.
B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.
C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.
D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the <em>addition property</em> and <em>multiplication property</em>. Your grader may disagree.
Answer:
25 Paper Clips
Step-by-step explanation:
100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).
100/4 = 25
So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in
