The steps involving properties of equality are shown in painful detail.
For Step 4, you add 7 to both sides of the equation (with the goal of cancelling the -7 on the left). So you have
6x -7 +7 = 12 +7 . . . . . . . showing 7 added to both sides
In the next step, this is simplified to the way you might have written it to start with:
6x = 19
There should be no confusion in any of this. All solutions of all equations make use of the properties of equality like this. Addition is used to cancel subtraction, division is used to cancel multiplication. (Root-taking cancels powers, and vice-versa; inverse trig functions cancel trig functions; and so on.)
I hope I answer your question
To find the lateral surface area of a pyramid, you can find the area of each triangle, A = 1/2bh or A = 1/2lw, then multiply by the number of triangles, which would be based on the number of sides of the base; or you can take half the perimeter and multiply by the slant height.
Answer:
<h2>The answer is </h2><h2>B. 1/12</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
From the problem state, we can actually conclude that Jamie wants to share the half sheet of cake among her 6 friends
step two:
we can express this problem mathematically as

we can inverse the denominator and use a multiplication sign instead

multiplying both denominators we have

The answer is B 1/12
