Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Given ⇒ 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Step 1 ⇒ 3x − 12 +

5x = 9x − 36 Step 2 ⇒ 3x + 5x − 12 = 9x − 36 Step 3 ⇒ 8x − 12 = 9x − 36 Step 4 ⇒ 8x − 8x − 12 = 9x − 8x − 36 Step 5 ⇒ 0 − 12 = x − 36 Step 6 ⇒ −12 = x − 36 Step 7 ⇒ −12 + 36 = x − 36 + 36 Step 8 ⇒ 24 = x + 0 Step 9 ⇒ 24 = x Which property yields Step 7? A) Additive Inverse Property B) Additive Identity Property C) Addition Property of Equality D) Commutative Property of Addition

In Step 6, the equation is ...

  -12 = x - 36

In step 7, the equation is ...

  -12 +36 = x -36 +36

Clearly, to get to step 7, 36 has been added to both sides of the equation.

Adding 36 to both sides of the equation is justified by ...

... C) Addition Property of Equality

_____

<em>More about the addition property of equality</em>

The addition property of equality says you can add the same value to both sides of an equation without changing the values of the variables that make the equation true. Here, x=24 makes the equation of step 6 true, and x=24 makes the equation of step 7 true.

What is the equation for |3x-4| = |2x+3|?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.

Solve the following equation
Gnoma [55]
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):

Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):

40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
       8x       8x

5 + x = 0             produces the root x = - 5.   

Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.

Be certain to check these results.  substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0.  Is the resulting equation true or false?  Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0.  Is the resulting equation true or false?

Please help me find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
seropon [69]

Answer:

K=10 H=65

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out K, you need to know that opposite angles are the same, so 5k is the same as 50, 50÷5= 10, so k=10

To work out H, you know that opposite angles are the same so 2h is the same as 130, 130÷2=65 so h=65
