1 answer:
zysi [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x

NOTE: You can only add/subtract LIKE terms . Here we have  variable terms in x  (13x , 17x and x) and 2 constants ( 5 and 4.5).

Sarah's next line is

18x + 17x - 4.5 + x

This is incorrect . It looks like she  added 13x + 5 and got 18x!! Which is of course wrong because they are NOT LIKE terms. 5 is a constant and 13x is a variable term in x.

The third line is correct:-

35x - 4.5 + x.

She has added the 2 variables 17x and 18x.

Fourth line  is  30.5x + x. She's at it again - Trying to subtract 4.5 from 35x .

Last line 31.5x

She has added  the 2 terms in x correctly, but the final answer is wrong of course due to the earlier errors.

Write a two column proof
NISA [10]
We are given intersecting lines. The measures of a pair of angles forming vertex angles, are 2x+6° and 96°.

The measure of 2 vertex angles is equal, so we solve the equation:

2x+6°=96°, subtract 6° from both sides of the equation
2x=90°,   divide both sides of the equation by 2
x=45°
