A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x-x+5 and 8-3x-3 are equivalent using substitution.

The class has suggested four different methods.
Which describes the correct method?
1) Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
2)Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
3)Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
4)Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Answer:

the last one

Step-by-step explanation:

4.) Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Okay. In my opinion, all the class has to do is simplify the expressions and compare. But they want to substitute instead.

Well then.

First, let's notice that these are linear expressions, meaning that if they are equivalent then all their values match up.

Number 1 is not a good one. Just because they're both positive doesn't mean anything; they have to be <em>the same.</em>

This also eliminates 3.

Number 2 is a good one, but it's not as reliable. If, for instance, the two expressions are <em>not </em>equivalent and you get lucky enough to pick that one value they intersect at (or have in common), then you'd be wrong when you say they are equivalent.

Number 4 makes the most sense because if both expressions are equivalent, then every value matches up. If not, then only one will. So having two values to substitute will most definitely answer the class question.

Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up! ;)

What is a statistical question and what is its purpose? Be sure to include the 3 characteristics that make it up.
sattari [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is a statistical question and what is its purpose? Be sure to include the 3 characteristics. That makes it up.

Answer- and statistical question is a question that guides research by defining the population of a given topic and that anticipates variability in the collected data. The purpose of a statistical question is it is the first step of the statistical process. The 3 characteristics  of a statistical question are allows for clear responses, includes a specific population, and anticipates variability of the data.

What does it mean for data to have variability as it refers to statistical questions? Give an example.

A statistical question has more than one possible answer

Example- how many chores do you have? Some people might say 5 or 2 or even 0. It just depends on the person's family.

Well a dot diagram is like this for example,

And a histogram is this,

Dot diagram uses dots and the histogram uses bars.

When would we use them? Well that I can explain, you can use the dot diagram  to see what pets people have or even to see how many people scored how many points.

A histogram can be used for a concert. There would be like on the bottom,  0-6, 7-12, and so on. The bars show how many people from what age group are joining the concert.

Explain the difference between center and shape of a data set.

The center is the median and/ or mean of the data. The spread is the range of the data. And, the shape describes the type of graph.

hope this helps give brainiest.

The area of a right triangle with one leg measuring 5 ft. and hypotenuse measuring 13 ft. is_______ a0. Type a numerical answer
Snowcat [4.5K]

Area of the triangle = (1/2)*base*height

For right triangle base and height can be legs.

We have one leg = 5 ft. (Lets think it is a base.)


We need to find the other leg.

We are going to use Pythagorean theorem.

5² + b²=13²

b²=144

b=12 (It is going to be our height.)


Area of the triangle = (1/2)*5*12= 30 ft²

Area of the triangle = 30 ft²
