Bernard solved the equation 5x+(-4)=6x+4 using algebra tiles. Which explains why Bernard added 5 negative x-tiles to both sides

in the first step of the solution?
A) He wanted to create zero pairs on the left side of the equation to get a positive coefficient of x on the right side.

B) He wanted to combine more negative tiles with the 4 negative tiles on the left side of the equation.

C) He wanted to remove the larger coefficient on the left side of the equation.

D) He wanted to have 10 x-tiles on the left side of the equation.

To find why he would do this, we need to understand what all the possible first steps are in this equation.

You could add 4 to both sides.
You could subtract 4 from both sides.
You could subtract 5x from both sides.
You could subtract 6x from both sides.

Any of these work. In Bernard's case, he added 5 negative x tiles, meaning he subtracted. C and D already make no sense, but allow me to further explain. By him subtracting 5x from both sides, the equation turns into:

-4 = x + 4

By this point, he can just subtract 4 from both sides to find the value of x. But the question asks for why he did the first step. Therefore, it would be A.

X = 3y - 6
Vlad1618 [11]
X = 3y - 6....so sub 3y - 6 in for x in the other equation

2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
6y - 12 - 4y = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
y = 20/2
y = 10

x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x = 24

solution is (24,10)

True or false: the lateral surface of cone a is exactly 1/2 the lateral surface area of cylinder b
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The cone A has the length of the lateral side = h and the height of the cylinder  B = h.

Since, the lateral surface areas are given by,

Lateral surface area of cone = \pi r\times l, where l is the length of the lateral side.

So, we get L_{A} = \pi r\times h.

Also, Lateral surface area of cylinder is 2\pi r\times h, where h is the height of the cylinder.

So, we get L_{B} = 2\pi r\times h

Thus, we see that, L_{A}=\frac{1}{2}\times L_{B}

Hence, the given statement is correct.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Which of the following ordered pairs are y-intercepts? Check all that apply.
Y_Kistochka [10]
Y intercept is where the line meets the Y axis
So the points shd be in (0,y) form.

So (0,0) (0,-7) (0,-0.25) are the y-intercepts in the following.

The length of the side sqaure A is 50% OF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE SQUARE b
UNO [17]

Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.

Then, the area of square A can be written as , and the area of square B can be written as .

There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:

= 1/4 = 25%

So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question
