Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
4x + 9 = 2x + 15
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 2x + 9 = 15
- Subtract 9 on both sides: 2x = 6
- Divide 2 on both sides: x = 3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 4(3) + 9 = 2(3) + 15
- Multiply: 12 + 9 = 6 + 15
- Add: 21 = 21
Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.
∴ x = 3 is the solution to the equation.
Cristy is right because after the decimal point it starts with the tenths place not the ones

Answer:
1/2 ; 0 ; 2 ;
Step-by-step explanation:
3 / 8 to the nearest half
3/8 = 0.375
Using a number line, 0.375 is closer to 1/2 =0.5, than to 0 ; hence, 3/8 = 1/2(nearest half
2.) 2 /12 = 0.16666
2/12 = 0 (nearest 1/2)
3.) eight tenths plus nine tenths equals
8/ 10 + 9/10 = 17/10
17 /10 = 1.7
1.7 = 2 (nearest 1/2)
