For the equation -2(x+1) = 8, Caitlin distributes the 2 to get, -2x +2 = 8. Then she subtracts the 2 from both sides to get -2x

= 6. Lastly she divides both sides by -2 to get x =-3. Did Caitlin use the distributive property correctly?(Site 2)

What is the missing reason in the proof?
IrinaVladis [17]

We can identify that the missing reason in the proof is: Definition of Congruent angles.

<h3>How to give proof of a congruent triangle?</h3>

We know that an angle measure of 90° of ∠ABC in the triangle means that it is a right angle triangle.

We also see that ∠ADB is also a right angle and is equal to 90°.

Now, since they have exactly the same measure, these angles are congruent. Then we can say that the angles are congruent and as such:

∠ABC ≅ ∠ABD

Thus, we can identify that the missing reason is: Definition of Congruent angles.

What is the area of the figure below ?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure = area of the down triangle + area of trapezium + area of the upper triangle

Down triangle:

Base b = 8 in

Height = 6 in

Area = \frac{1}{2}bh\\=\frac{1}{2}*8*6\\\\=4*6

= 24 in²

Trapezium:

bases a = 4 in & b = 6 in

Height h =  5 in

Area=\frac{(a+b)h}{2}\\\\=\frac{(4+6)*5}{2}\\\\=\frac{10*5}{2}\\\\=5*5

= 25 in²

Area of the upper triangle:

Base b = 6 in

Height = (8 - 5) = 3 in

Area=\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\=\frac{1}{2}*6*3\\\\=3*3

= 9 in²

Area of the figure = 24 + 25 + 9 = 58 in²

HELPPPP- you just got your driver's license. Your parents buy you a car and agree to let you pay them back over a period of 70 m
Nitella [24]

Using the monthly payments formula, it is found that a car with a value of at most $25,293.

<h3>What is the monthly payment formula?</h3>

It is given by:

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

In which:

  • P is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate.
  • n is the number of payments.

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:

A = 400, n = 70, r = 0.035.

Hence:

r/12 = 0.035/12 = 0.002917.

Then we have to solve for P to find the maximum value of the car.

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

400 = P\frac{0.002917(1.002917)^{70}}{(1.002917)^{70}-1}

P = \frac{400[(1.002917)^{70}-1]}{0.002917(1.002917)^{70}}

P = $25,293.
