What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process?

Mathematics
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

8y -40 = 6y - 18

8y - 6y - 40 = -18

2y - 40 = -18 ( the justification for step 2 is to isolate y on one side of the                   equation in order to solve for y )

2y - 40 + 40 = 40 - 18

2y = 22

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Check :

12(11) - 40 - 4(11) = 6 (11) - 18

132 - 40 - 44 = 66 - 18

48= 48

There's 9 choices for the first digit and 4 choices for the last digit. The number of choices for the 2nd and 3rd digits is 90 if 2 numbers are different. or 100 if duplicates are allowed.

If duplicates are allowed the answer is 9 * 100 * 4 = 3600 possible numbers.

Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x
vredina [299]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27

It has none. Angle A is obtuse, so it would have to be opposite the longest side. If side a is opposite angle A, then that is not the case.
