Answer:

Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason given to go from :

2 (3x +4) = 56  to 6x + 8 = 56

is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.

Bill wants to rent a car. Rental Company A charges $35 per day plus $0.10 per mile driven. Rental Company B charges $25 per day
vova2212 [387]

After 300 miles.

35+0.1x= 25+0.15x

<u> -0.1x -.01x</u> (0.1- 0.1 crosses out)

35= 25+0.15x

<u> -25 -25 </u> (25- 25 crosses out)

15= 0.15x

15/0.15= 0.15x/0.15 (crosses out)

300= x

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to
Ierofanga [76]

Graph the system of linear inequalities

x + y > 5

- x - y < -5

First we graph x + y >5

Step 1: replace > symbol by = sign

x + y =5

step 2 : Solve the equation for y

x + y =5 (subtract x from both sides)

y = 5 - x

step 3: Now we make a table . plug in some number for x  and find out y

x -----> y

-1 -----> 6   ( y=5-x => y=5-(-1)= 6)

0 -----> 5   ( y=5-x => y=5-(0)= 5)

1 -----> 4   ( y=5-x => y=5-(1)= 4)

Step 4:  we graph the table.

step 5: Shade the region that satisfies our inequality

x + y > 5. Greater than symbol implies that we shade the graph to the right

Graphing second inequality - x - y < -5

All terms have negative sign . so divide all the terms by -1. When we divide an inequality by -1 its sign changes

- x - y < -5 becomes x + y > 5

Follow the same steps to graph this inequality

After dividing the second equation  by -1 , we got the same as the first equation.

So we will get the same graph

Both graphs overlaps

The graph of first and second inequality overlaps

The graph is attached below

Write and solve a problem involving money that can be solved with a multiplication equation. tell what the variable represents
olganol [36]
Ben wanted to take some money from his Friends to build his family a home. He said that he would give the money back after 12 months. So he would give 1500$ a month. How much money did he borrow?
1500*12=x

Matilda got also money, she told Ben, I got x $ from my dad and y $ from mom. all they gave me was 5000$. If I gave mom Half of the moneys I got from her than I would have 3000$ left to pay. How much did she borrow from her parents?
x+y=5000
and
x+y/2=3000

so x=5000-y
and
5000-y+y/2=3000

so
x=5000-y
and
y=4000

so x=1000 and y=4000

A basketball player has made​ 70% of his foul shots during the season. If he shoots 3 foul shots in​ tonight's game, what is the
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foul shot that he takes during the game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he makes it, or he misses. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 3, p = 0.7

What is the probability that he makes all of the​ shots?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.343

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.
