Answer:

3/5 is the number that can be distributed across two terms inside parentheses.

you might not need it but:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>3/5(x - 10)</u> = 18 - 4x - 1

using distributive property, open the parentheses:

<u>3/5x - 6 </u>= 18 - 4x - 1

Simplify:

3/5x + 4x = 17 + 6

4⅗x = 23

x = 5

The midpoint of AB is M(-2,-4). If the coordinates of A are (-3,-5), what are the coordinates of B?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

B(-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the coordinates of B be (x,y)

Mid point of AB = (x₁+ x₂/2, y₁+y₂ /2)

= (-3 +x/2 , -5+y/2)

Mid point of AB is M(-2,-4)

(-3 +x/2 , -5+y/2) = (-2, -4)

-3 + x /2 = -2 ; -5+y/2 = -4

-3 + x = -2 * 2 ; -5 + y = -4 * 2

-3 + x = -4 ; -5 + y = -8

x = -4 +3 ; y = -8 +5

x = -1 ; y = -3

B(-1,-3)

a $\leq$ 7

because 4a + 7 - 7 $\leq$ 35 - 7

equals 4a $\leq$ 28

and 4a/4 $\leq$ 28/4

equals a $\leq$ 7

What is wrong with this “proof”? “Theorem” For every positive integer n, if x and y are positive integers with max(x, y) = n, th

VMariaS [17]

The assumption of the inductive step is not correct. If $\mathrm{max}(x,y)=2$ , for instance, it's entirely possible that $x=1$ and $y=2$ .
