Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
Answer:
r = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio r is the ratio of a term to the preceding term, that is
r = 126 ÷ - 18 = - 882 ÷ 126 = - 7
Point slope formula y-y1=x(x-x1)
Answer:
-41
Step-by-step explanation:
you put 3 in place of x. So where x is you put 3. Then simplify. Let me know if you need further explanation
My teacher taught me to make an imaginary decimal and 0 at the beginning of the number and then move the decimal to the end of the number... idk that may be the wrong way to do it but you can try :/
