Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−5)+8=4

(2)(x)+(2)(−5)+8=4(Distribute)

2x+−10+8=4

(2x)+(−10+8)=4(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=4

2x−2=4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=4+2

2x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 6/2

x=3

1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.

2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"

3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.

4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.

5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.

Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start? Rita had a 28-mile head start. Roger had a 26-mile head start. Roge

serg [7]

Complete question is;

Roger and Rita each drive at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the trip is displayed below. Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start?

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

B) Roger had a 26-mile head start.

C) Roger had a 25-mile head start.

D) Rita had a 22-mile head start.

Answer:

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Roger travelled a distance of 60 miles

And that;

Rita travelled a distance of 32 miles

We are told that they travelled between Phoenix and San Diego.

Thus, it means that if they have different distances but covered same section of the trip, it means the one with higher distance started before the section of the trip.

Thus, it means that Rita had a head start of Roger since she covered only 32 miles.

Thus;

Rita had a head start of; 60 - 32 = 28 miles

A construction company uses the function f(p) where p is the number of people working on a project to model the amount of money

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Domain of f(p) = [0,∞), where it belongs to whole numbers only

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the set of all possible values of independent variable for which function is defined

As in the given function f(p), we have the independent variable p. As p is the number of people working on the project, so it means either the number of people could be 0 or it could be anything greater than 0, like it could be equal to thousand or ten thousand, but it can not be fraction in any case.

So, the domain is set of whole numbers starting from 0.

Domain of f(p) = [0,∞)
