Each of 4 friends has 2 balloons
4 x 2 = 8
herself has one
so 8 + 1 = 9
answer: Total 9 balloons
Answer:
x=−6
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.
∣x+2∣−5=−1
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
∣x+2∣=4
Use the definition of absolute value.
x+2=4
x+2=−4
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
x=2
x=−6
<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Here are all of the justifications for each step
- Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
- Step 2. Distributive property
- Step 3. Multiply (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
- Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the -15 and 4x terms swap places.
- Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
- Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.
