Not sure what algebra tiles are
not sure how to absolutely prove
I can prove it works at least most of the time by subsitute ing number for x
remember that 0,1,2 have special properties and are not very good for subsituting so
try 4
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
true or false?
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
multipily
4+32=4(8+1)
36=4(9)
36=36
this is treu at least for the number 4
another way is to believe in the distributive property where
a(b+c)=ab+ac so then
4(2x+1)=4(2x)+4(1)=8x+4=4+8x
Answer:Well, I don't know what you got so I can't tell you if it is right.
If it works in both equations, it depends of whether your equations are set up correctly.
Here is how I would do this problem.
Let x = no. of hot dogs,y = number of sodas.
First equation is just about the number of things.
x + y = 15
Second equation is about the cost of things.
1.5 x + .75 y = 18
solve x+y = 15 for y y = 15-x substitute into second equation
1.5x + .75(15 - x) = 18
You should get the correct answer for number of hot dogs if you solve this correctly. Put your answer in the x + y =15 equation to get y. Then put both x and y into the cost equation and check your answer.
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Scale of map is 1: 30,000
This is assuming that it meant 1 centimetre = 30,000 metres, for it gives no other information.
Multiply 1 with 30,000: 30,000 x `1 = 30,000
30,000 metres is your answer.
B) Scale is 1 inch: 6 miles. You are given 2.5 inches.
Remember that 1 inch = 6 miles.
Multiply 2.5 to both sides: (2.5) * 1 inch = (2.5) * 6 miles
2.5 inch = 2.5 * 6 miles
2.5 inch = 15 miles
15 miles is your answer.
