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:
Step-by-step explanation:
9a - 8 = 2a - 2b
7a - 8 = -2b
7a = 8 - 2b
a = (8 - 2b)/7
Let the angle of elevation be θ.
We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
θ = 36.9°.
Answer:
<em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
If line AC and BD intersects, then m<AED + m<DEC = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees)
Given
m<AED = 16x+8
m<DEC = 76 degrees
16x + 8 + 76 = 180
16x + 84 = 180
16x = 180-84
16x = 96
x = 96/16
x = 6
Hence the value of x is 6
Hence the correct option is <em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>
