Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
LOL
A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5
b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3
c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8
Answer:
D. x = 22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.
Percentage decrease would be expressed as
Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100
It becomes
5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%
There isn't enough info to prove the triangles to be congruent or not. So we can't say for sure either way.
We have angle CAD = angle ACB given by the arc markings, and we know that AC = AC due to the reflexive theorem. However we are missing one third piece of information.
That third piece of info could be....
- AD = BC which allows us to use SAS
- angle ACD = angle CAB which allows us to use ASA
- angle ABC = angle CDA which allows us to use AAS (slight variation of ASA)
Since we don't know any of those three facts, we simply don't have enough information.
side note: If AB = CD, then this leads to SSA which is not a valid congruence theorem. If we had two congruent sides, the angle must be between the two sides, which is what AD = BC allows.
