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.

Find all real and non-real roots of the function ƒ(x) = x2 + 49. Question 1 options: A) x = –7, 7 B) x = –7i, 7i C) x = –49i, 49
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x²+49 , rewrite the equation

x² +7² =0 , to find the roots make f(x) =0 and subtract 7² from both sides

x² = -7², square root both sides

√x² =√-7², consider √-1 =i

x= ±7i

the roots are -7i and 7i

The height of a ball thrown vertically upward from a rooftop is modelled by h(t)= -4.8t^2 + 19.9t +55.3 where h (t) is the balls
nikitadnepr [17]

By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

<h3>How to determine the maximum height of the ball</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation that models the height of a ball in time and the <em>maximum</em> height represents the vertex of the parabola, hence we must use the <em>quadratic</em> formula for the following expression:

- 4.8 · t² + 19.9 · t + (55.3 - h) = 0

The height of the ball is a maximum when the discriminant is equal to zero:

19.9² - 4 · (- 4.8) · (55.3 - h) = 0

396.01 + 19.2 · (55.3 - h) = 0

19.2 · (55.3 - h) = -396.01

55.3 - h = -20.626

h = 55.3 + 20.626

h = 75.926 m

By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

Madison and her sister received the same amount of money to go out to eat. each girl spent $13. after lunch, the girls had a tot
Rus_ich [418]
Each girl started with 15 dollars.

4$ is the ending amount
x= the amount of money each girl received
4= 2x - 2(13)        

Since there were two girls who both received x amount of money, x is multiplied by two. Since both the girls spent 13 dolars on lunch, their original amount is subtracted by 13 times two, since there are two lunches being bought. The end amount of money is four.
to solve:
4= 2x - 2(13)
4= 2x - 26       Simplify by combining like terms
30= 2x             Isolate the variable by adding 26 to both sides
15=x                Continue to isolate the variable by dividing both sides by two
Each girl started with 15 dolars. Each girl spent thirteen dolars on lunch and had two dolars left over. Each girls' two dolars left over adds up to four dollars.
