Answer:

Sarah use distributive property in Step 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

2(x + 3)=8

Step 1: Use the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac

2x + 6=8

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x + 6-6=8-6

2x =2

Divide 2 from both the sides.

x =1

Now we need to find in which step Sarah use distributive property.

From the above calculation we can be concluded that Sarah use distributive property in Step 1.

No Spam. I will mark Brainliest, if you get it right. A tank's length is 4 feet longer than its width. The height is 2 feet more
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say x the width of the tank,

x+4 its length,

x+2 its height

Volume=105=x(x+4)(x+2)\\\\P(x)=x^3+6x^2+8x-105=0\\\\105=3*5*7\\\\P(1)\neq 0\\P(-1)\neq 0\\P(3)=0\\\\\begin{array}{|c|cccc|}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\&1&6&8&-105\\x=3&&3&27&105\\----&--&--&--&--\\&1&9&35&0\\\end{array}\\\\\\P(x)=x^3+6x^2+8x-105=(x-3)(x^2+9x+35)\\And \ x^2+9x+35\ is\ not \ factorizable\ (\Delat=9^2-4*35 < 0)\\

<u>width=3</u>

length=3+4=7

height=3+2=5

Which statement is the if/then conditional statement of the following? Vertical angles are congruent.
FinnZ [79.3K]

An if-then statement must hold under any condition. Let's take it case by case:


A. This one makes sense, and is perfect! If two angles are vertical, then they must be congruent. This holds no matter what. This is your answer.


B. This doesn't hold because Alternate Interior Angles can also be congruent (along with many others). Two angles don't <em>have </em>to be vertical to be congruent.


C. This one is also true because this is the contrapositive of Option A. (Read my reasoning on D to know what a contrapositive is). Therefore, this is correct.


D. This one is the contrapositive of B, which makes it the exact same as B. Thus, this is not the answer. Contrapositive, by the way, just means that it's the inverse and opposite of a given statement. Let's say P is the contrapositive of Q. If this is the case, then if Q is true, P must be true. In our case, Option D is the contrapositive of Option B and since Option B is not true, neither is D.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 200 feet. The length of the field is 7 feet more than two times the width of the field.
bulgar [2K]
X = 2y + 7 ...............(1)
2x + 2y = 200 ........(2)

Substituting the expression for x in equation (1) into equation (2) gives
2(2y + 7) + 2y = 200 .....(3)
Equation (3) simplifies to
6y = 186
Therefore y = 31 feet.
Substituting the value for y into (1) gives
x = 69 feet.

What is algebra? What do you do with algebra?
tigry1 [53]

Algebra is a very important branch of math.

Algebra is a lot like arithmetic which means it follows all the rules of arithmetic, and it still uses the four main operations that arithmetic is built on.

In arithmetic, the only thing that was unknown was the answer to the problem. For example, 39 + 2 = 41.  In algebra, we use a variable to represent the number. A variable is a letter that represents any number. The most common variable is "x".
