Answer:

D. Division property of Equality

Yes, this is correct because a division by -3/8 was applied and that's why it turned the solution into multiplication by using its reciprocal (-8/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find out the property applied to solve the equation:

-3/8x = 48

-3/8 * (-8/3)x = 48 * (-8/3)

x = -128

A. Addition property of Equality

No, this is not correct because no addition was used.

B. Subtraction property of Equality

No, this is not correct because no subtraction was applied.

C. Multiplication property of Equality

No, this is not correct because in case it was applied, it should have being done this way:

-3/8x = 48

-3/8 * (-3/8)x = 48 * (-3/8)

9x/64 = -144/8

D. Division property of Equality

Yes, this is correct because a division by -3/8 was applied and that's why it turned the solution into multiplication by using its reciprocal (-8/3).

A rectangle has sides measuring (2x + 7) units and (5x + 9) units. Part A: What is the expression that represents the area of th

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Part A:

(2x+7)(5x+9)

=(2x+7)(5x+9)

=(2x)(5x)+(2x)(9)+(7)(5x)+(7)(9)

=10x2+18x+35x+63

=10x2+53x+63

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is given as

Area = length × width

Given that the length and width are (2x + 6) units and (5x + 3) units, the expression for the area is

(2x + 6)(5x + 3) = 10x² + 6x + 30x + 18

Area = 10x² + 36x + 18

The degree is 2 because the highest power of the terms is 2. It is classified as a trinomial because it has 3 terms.

C) it is closed under multiplication. the exponents in the polynomials are whole numbers(2 and 1). The whole numbers are closed under addition, which means that the new exponents formed are also whole numbers. The exponents were whole numbers before multiplication and doesn't change after multiplication.

I need help answering 6x+8=26

melomori [17]

First you subtract 8 from 26, which is 18. Then you divide 18 by 6, which is 3. x equals 3.

16 of the students are sick. How I got this was, divide 48 by 3 and you get 16 therefore 1/3 of 48 is 16.

The function v(r) 4/3 pie r to the 3rd = can be used to find the volume of air inside a basketball given its radius. What does V

umka21 [38]

Answer:

the volume of the basketball when the radius is r

Step-by-step explanation:

V(r) is a function name V and argument list (r). Often the letter of the function name is a reminder of what the function computes. Here, V is chosen as the name because it computes Volume. The function uses r (for radius) as its independent variable. That is why r is listed in parentheses next to the function name.

So, V(r) represents a function that computes the volume of a sphere with radius r.
