Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, the Multiplication Property of Equality wouldn't help us because it tells us we can always multiply the same quantity times both sides of an equation.

Since we want to be able to get x by itself, multiplying both sides

of the equation by the same quantity wouldn't help us.

Instead, we would use the Division Property of Equality.

In order to get from the statement 5x = -20  to the statement where x

is isolated, we must divide both sides of the statement, 5x = -20, by 5.

So we have x = -4.

So this statement uses the Division Property of Equality.

AleksandrR [38]

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is y = 2x + 3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is:

y - 0 = [(-3 - 0) / (0- (-6)](x - (-6))

y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is:

y - 3 = [(-5 - 3) / (-4 - 0)](x - 0)

y = 2x + 3

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Adults $ 17

Students: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults: x

Students: y

a) 25x + 31y = 673

b) 27x +31y = 707

Elimination:

a) -1(25x + 31y = 673) = -25 -31y = -673

a + b

= (-25 -31y = -673) + (27x + 31y = 707)

= 2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Substitution a or b:

a) 25(17) + 31y = 673

425 + 31y = 673

31y = 673 - 425

31y = 248

y = 248/31

y = 8
