Answer:
C) Symmetric
Step-by-step explanation:
The symmetric property is the idea that if A = B, then B = A. Flipping the equation around doesn't matter.
It's like saying 2+3 = 5 is the same as 5 = 2+3. We can extend the symmetric property to not only deal with equations, but include congruence statements as well.
To solve this, follow these steps:
5x + 27 = 9 (x+3) - 4x
Distribute the 9 within the parenthesis:
5x + 27 = 9x + 27 - 4x
Then combine like terms:
5x + 27 = 5x + 27
These two then cancel each other out completely.
This is an identity because an identity in math is when both equations equal each other, which is shown above.
Hope this helps!
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
