Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20
step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)
step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)
step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)
step 5. this step is incorrect.
step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)
step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).
7) Skateboarding down a hill or a ramp. Rolling a ball on the floor. Going up and down the ramp of a moving truck.
8) Throwing a ball into the air and then catching it. Skateboarding a half-pipe. Shooting a basketball. Hitting a baseball.
Answer:
a) (-2,2), (-1,-1), (1,-1), (3,7)
b) x=1.4
Answer:
2. 10
3. D. 1 for all n
Step-by-step explanation:
2. The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
a^b = 1/a^-b
__

The value of n is 10.
__
3. Using the above rules of exponents, the expression simplifies to ...
6^(-n+n) = 6^0 = 1
The value is 1 for any n.
