Maria solved the equation. 4 (3 x minus 8) minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 32 minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 36 = 24. 12 x = 60. x = 5. What

methods did she use and in what order did she use them?

Answer:

1. Distributive property.

2. Combining like terms.

3. Addition property of equality.

4. Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Distributive property states that:

a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ab

- The Addition property of equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ a+c=b+c

- The Subtraction property of equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ a-c=b-c

- The Multiplication property of equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c

- The Division property of equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}

Given the following equation:

4(3x-8)-4=24

We can identify that the methods Maria used to solve it and the order, are:

1. Distributive property:

(4)(3x)-(4)(8)-4=24\\\\12x-32-4=24

2. Combining (or adding) like terms:

12x-36=24

3. Addition property of equality, because she added 36 to both sides of the equation:

12x-36+36=24+36\\\\12x=60

4. Division property of equality, because she divided both sides of the equation by 12:

\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5

The diagram shows the straight line which passes through the points (0, 1) and (3, 13).
Damm [24]

Answer:

y=4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the gradient of the straight line

Then substitute the gradient in the formula y=mx+c.

Substitute one of the given coordinates in the line to find the value of c.

After finding the value of c substitute it in the formula but do not write the values of x and y in the formula

Compare and contrast the absolute value of a real number to that of a complex number.
sveticcg [70]
The absolute value of a real number is a positive value of the number. Which means that the absolute value is the distance from zero of the number line. However, that of the complex numbers is the distance from the origin to the point in a complex plane.
