Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

-(x - 8) = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide both sides by -1:                    x - 8 = -2
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                        x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    -(6 - 8) = 2
  2. Subtract:                              -(-2) = 2
  3. Multiply:                               2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

On a 120-question test, a student got 96 correct answers. What percent of the
madreJ [45]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages are usually found by taking the value that you want to find and dividing it by the whole amount (100% of the total value available). In this case, getting 100% on the test would mean getting 120/120, because 120 points is 100% of the points available. However, the student only got 96 points out of the whole 120 points, so to find the percentage, you do 96/120 to find what part of 96 comes out of 120. Then to convert to percentage, multiply that value by 100 to get your finale value.
