A student solves the equation StartFraction x + 3 Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over 5 EndFraction using the steps

in the table.
Original equation
StartFraction x + 3 Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over 5 EndFraction
Cross multiplication
5 (x + 3) = 2 (3x + 5)
Distributive property
5 x + 15 = 2 (3 x + 5)
Subtraction property of equality
5 = x

Which method of solving for the variable could be used instead of cross multiplication?
distributing x + 3 and then 3x + 5 to both sides of the equation
distributing x – 3 and then 3x – 5 to both sides of the equation
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by One-tenth

using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

\frac{x+3}{2} = \frac{3x+5}{5}

One method to solve this equation is cross-multiplication which the student has used.

One of the alternate method can be multiplying both sides by the LCM of numerators of fractions on both sides

So multiplying both sides by 10 (multiplication property of equality)

\frac{x+3}{2} * 10 = \frac{3x+5}{5} * 10\\5(x+3) = 2(3x+5)\\5x+15 = 6x+10\\5x+15-10 = 6x\\6x = 5x+5\\6x-5x = 5\\x = 5

The alternate method of LCM produces the same answer so the correct answer is:

using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10

Write an equation of the line containing the point (3,5) and perpendicular to the line 4x-3y=5
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line, we first have to know what the slope of the given line is, and there's no way to tell by looking at it in its current form, which is standard. We need to solve that equation for y to determine the slope of that line. Solving for y:

-3y=-4x+5 and

3y = 4x - 5 (just change all the signs so our y term isn't negative anymore...yes, you're "allowed" to do that!) and

y=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{5}{3} So we can see now that the slope of this line is 4/3. That means that the perpendicular slope is -3/4. Passing through the given point (3, 5):

y-5=-\frac{3}{4}(x-3)* and

y-5=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4} and

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{20}{4} so

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{29}{4}** and, in standard form:

4y = -3x + 29 and

3x + 4y = 29***

* : point-slope form

** : slope-intercept form

*** : standard form
