A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4 x minus x + 5 and 8 minus 3 x minus 3 are equivalen

t using substitution. The class has suggested four different methods. Which describes the correct method? Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent. Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent. Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent. Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Answer:

  • Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expressions</u>

  • 4x - x + 5 = 3x + 5
  • 8 - 3x - 3 = -3x + 5

Compared, we see the expressions are different as 3x and -3x have different coefficient

<u>Answer options</u>

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. There are 2 values- variable and constant

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent.

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Correct.

In the diagram below of triangle UVW, X is a midpoint of UV and Y is a midpoint
NeTakaya

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X is midpoint of UV and Y is midpoint of VW.

\therefore XY || UW

(By mid-point theorem)

\therefore \angle XYV \cong \angle UWY\\.. (corresponding\: \angle 's) \\\therefore m\angle XYV = m\angle UWY\\\therefore 98 - 6x = 63- x\\\therefore 98 - 63= 6x- x\\\therefore 35= 5x\\\\\therefore x = \frac{35}{5}\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore x = 7}} \\\\m\angle UWY = (63 - x) °\\\\\therefore  m\angle UWY = (63 - 7) °\\\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore  m\angle UWY = 56 °}}

Sally used all of the paint shown to make a certain tint of orange paint. How many pints of red paint should be mixed with 24 pi
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

18 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, three pint of yellow paint was mixed with four pint of red paint. Let x represent the number of yellow paint and let y represent the number of red paint. Therefore, the ratio of the two paints is:

x/y = 3/4

x = (3/4)y

To calculate the number of red paints (x) that is needed to be mixed with 24 pints of yellow paint, we use the equation and substitute y as 24. Hence:

x =  (3/4)y

x =  (3/4) * 24

x = 18 pints
