Mathematics

Answer:

A statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition Postulate: If you have one apple and Sally has one apple, when you both add the same quantity to your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples. Using algebra, the postulate states:

If x = y, then x + 4 = y + 4

The Subtraction Postulate: If you have ten apples and Sally has ten apples, when you both subtract the same quantity of apples from your existing number of apples, you'll still have the same number of apples.

If x = y, then x - 3 = y - 3

Without being repetitive, these same principles apply to both multiplication and division.

The Multiplication Postulate: If x = y, then x * 3 = y * 3

The Division Postulate: If x = y, then x / 7 = y / 7

3 - x/2 = 6 (Solve each equation) Check your answer
Yanka [14]
Answer to question
3-x/2=6
Subtract 3 from both sides
-x/2=3
Multiply 3 by -2
Final Answer: x=-6

Work check
3-x/2=6
Substitute -6 for x since you solved for x in the last equation
3-(-6)/2
Convert 3-(-6/2) to 3+6/2
3+6/2
Divide 6 by 2
3+3
Add
Final Answer: 6 (This 6 is the same 6 we used to solve for x in the first equation).

At a local fitness​ center, members pay a ​$10 membership fee and ​$5 for each aerobics class. Nonmembers pay ​$6 for each aerob
sveta [45]
One way to solve it is writing two equations based on the info so

y = 5x + 10 for members
y = 6x for nonmembers

(the + 10 isn't included in the second equation because nonmembers won't pay a membership fee)

and to find their intersection point (where the values will be the same), you just set them equal to each other:

5x + 10 = 6x

subtract 5x

x = 10 classes
