So,
"The sum of five times a number and -6"
5n + -6 or 5n - 6
"is -2"
= -2
5n - 6 = -2
Add 6 to both sides.
5n = 4
Divide both sides by 5.
Answer:
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruence just means that two things are of the same size. For instance, if you have two congruent side lengths, they are the same length. In this picture, you can see that both triangles have a side with one dash and a side with two dashes. In geometry, to show that two lines are congruent you give them the same number of dashes, and therefore you know for sure that those two pairs of sides are congruent. Finally, the triangles share a side length, so you know that that side length is equal for them. Therefore, the appropriate congruence property here is SSS, since you know that three pairs of sides are congruent.
Answer:
same variable and same exponent
