Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 4 = 20 and arrives at the correct solution? A

dd 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12. Divide both sides by −4, and then subtract 2. The solution is x = −7. Subtract 4 from both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −12. Multiply both sides by −4, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −40.

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For solving the question and understand which of the statements matches with the solution, let's proceed with the equation:

2x − 4 = 20

2x  - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 (Adding 4 at both sides)

2x = 24

2x/2 = 24/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

x = 12

<u>The correct answer is A. Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12.</u>

I’m confused on this one
Mandarinka [93]

Remark

If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP


From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.


Givens

PQ = 8

QR = 5

RS = 15

ST = x + 3


Ratio

QR/RP = RS/RT


Sub and solve

RP = 5 + 8

RP = 13


RT = 15 + x + 3

RT = 18 + x


5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply

5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.

90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.

5x = 105 Divide by 5

x = 105/5
