Answer:

2(x + 1) = 10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(x + 1) = 10

Solution:

Apply Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

This means multiply 2 with x and 1

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2x + 2 = 10      

Use Subtraction property of equality

A = B, then A - C = B - C

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

2x = 8                  Step 3

Use Division property of equality

It state that if you divide both sides of an equation by same nonzero number then the sides remain equal

Dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

This means value of x is 4

Another method to solve this equation is:

2(x+1)=10  

Use Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)  

2*(x+1) = 2x + 2  

Use commutative property

A + (-B) = (-B) + A

2x + 2 + (-2) = 2x + (-2) + 2

2x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)

2x + 2 - 2 = 10-2  

2x = 8  

Using division property

AX = B  

AX / A = B / A

So

X = B/A

This becomes:

2x = 8

2x = 8.

Divide both sides by 2  

2x / 2 = 8 / 2  

x = 4

Joe needs to buy supplies for a birthday party. At the store, balloons cost $0.50 each and party hats each cost $1.25. If Joe wa
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

0.50b+1.25h=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of balloons and h be number of party hats.

We have been given that balloons cost $0.50 each, so cost of b balloons will be 0.50b.

We are also told that party hats each cost $1.25, so cost of h party hats will be 1.25h.

Further, Joe wants to spend exactly $20 on the party supplies. We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.50b+1.25h=20

Therefore, the equation 0.50b+1.25h=20 represents the number of balloons ( b) and the number of party hats ( h) that Joe can buy spending exactly $20.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The y intercept is 3

(0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=6

To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y

4(0) +2y = 6

0+2y = 6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 6/2

y =3

The y intercept is 3
