Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Given the equation

3+9=12

Using the subtraction property of equality (subtracting 5 from both sides of equation), we'll get an equivalent equation

3+9-5=12-5

B. Given the equation

x-4=7

Using the addtion property of equality (adding 4 to both sides of equation), we'll get an equivalent equation

x-4+4=7+4

C. Given the equation

2(6)=12

Using the division property of equality (dividing  both sides of equation by 2), we'll get an equivalent equation

\dfrac{2(6)}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}

D. Given the equation

\dfrac{x}{2}=5

Using the multiplication property of equality (multiplying  both sides of equation by 2), we'll get an equivalent equation

2\cdot \dfrac{x}{2}=2\cdot 5

What is the center of the circle for this equation:<br> (x + 3)² + (y - 2)² = 25
Ksju [112]

The formula for the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center of the circle and <em>r</em> is the radius.

So we need to find the values of (h, k) in order to find the center of the circle.

If we simply line up the equation of our given circle with our formula,

we can see that -h = 3 or h = -3 and -k = -2 so k = 2.

So now we have our answer.

center ⇒ (-3, 2)

A board is 27 inches long. How long is the board in centimeters? Use the following conversion: 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters.
Elina [12.6K]

1 inch = 2.54 cm

 so multiply 27 by 2.54


27 x 2.54 = 68.58 cm long

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t
Hoochie [10]
Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.

We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120

We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234

You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360

See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75

Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75

Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.

So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.

Hope this helped

Point E is between points D and F. If DE = x − 2, EF = 6x + 4, and DF = 8x − 2, find x
Arlecino [84]
DE + EF = DF

x - 2 + 6x + 4 = 8x - 2
7x + 2 = 8x - 2
2 + 2 = 8x - 7x
4 = x <===
