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.

If a town has a density of 8 houses per block and there are 65 blocks in the town, how many houses are in the town?
andriy [413]

Answer:

520 houses

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of houses in the town.

We are told that the density is 8 houses per block and there are 65 blocks

The number of houses in the town = density * number of blocks = 65 * 8 = 520 houses

If f(x) = 16x – 30 and g(x) = 14x – 6, for which value of x does (f – g)(x) = 0?
andre [41]

The value of the x will be 12. The value of the x is obtained from the condition,(f – g)(x) = 0

<h3>What exactly is a function?</h3>

A function is a statement, rule, or law that specifies the connection between two variables. Functions are common in mathematics and are required for the formulation of physical connections.

Given function;

f(x) = 16x – 30

g(x) = 14x – 6

⇒(f – g)(x) = 0

⇒(16x – 30)-(14x – 6)=0

⇒16x-30-14x+6=0

⇒2x-24=0

⇒x=24/2

⇒x=12

Hence, the value of the x will be 12.
