Answer:
B. The student did not properly apply the addition property to isolate x
Explanation:
When given an equation to solve, always remember that when you do an external operation (add/subtract/multiply a term or divide by a term) on one side of the equation, the same operation should be applied on the other side in order to maintain the equality of the equation.
Now, let's take a look on the steps done:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
3 = -x
Now, note n step 2, the student wanted to get rid of the 2 next to the x, therefore, he subtracted 2. However, the student did not subtract the 2 from the other side of the equation. Since we're taking addition (we're adding a -2), therefore, the student incorrectly applied the addition property to isolate the x.
The correct steps would be as follows:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 - 2 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
1 = - x
Hope this helps :)
Make the 3 into a fraction and then flip it to cancel out which makes it easier then do it to the -2,197 for you to get x
Answer:
You <u>solve</u> the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The process of finding variable values that make the equation true is called <em>solving</em> the equation.
Answer:
2.
i) (c)
ii) (d)
iii) (b)
iv) (a)
3.
ii) 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
2.
i) 2x+x+3x=180°
x=30°
ii) x+110=180
x=70
iii) x+2x+30°=180
x=50°
iv) 2x+15°+45°+x=180
3x+60°=180
x=40°
3.
ii) 2x+5+25=180°
2x+30°=180°
x=75°
the measure: x+5°= 75°+5°=80°
