+(-6) + (-8)= -4<br> What’s the missing number???

Darya [45]

Answer:

Step by step explanation:

In general, if we have an equation that has just one variable, such as x, then "solving the equation" means finding the set of all values that can be substituted for the one variable to produce a valid equation.

Isolate "x" on one side of the algebraic equation by adding the negative number that appears on the same side of the equation as the "x." For example, in the equation "x - 5 = 12", rewrite the equation as "x = 12 + 5" and solve for "x."

x + (-6) + (-8) = -4

x + (-6 + -8) = -4

x + (-14) = -4

x + (-14 + 14) = -4 + 14

x = 10

Which ofnthe following shows the correct use of distributive property when solving 1/3(33-x)=135,2

madam [21]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing options are:

$A. (33 - x) = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\B. (\frac{1}{3} *33) - \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\C.(\frac{1}{3} * 33) - \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2\\\\D. (\frac{1}{3} * 33) + \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2$

In order to solve this exercise you need to remember the following:

1. The Distributive property states that:

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

2. The multiplication of signs:

$(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-$

In this case the exercise gives you the following equation:

$\frac{1}{3}(33-x)=135.2$

Since you need to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value, the first step you must apply in the in the procedure is to eliminate the parentheses applying the Distributive property.

Then, you must multiply everyting inside the parentheses by $\frac{1}{3}$ .
