Answer:
Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
I said mean because it would allow both Carl and Tamera to average their scores and compare one side by side rather than comparing 6 each which would just be time consuming and it seems like it wouldn't be any other choices.
Distributive property was the first property used in STEP 1, where -4 was distributed to -3x+ 2 resulting in the equation in STEP 1. Next in STEP 2, commutative property of addition no matter how 12x and 6x are arranged, when you add them together the result will be the same.
*Take note that 12x and 6x are put together because they are like terms.
For Steps 3 and 4, you will see that the addition property of equality was used in STEP 3. To keep the equation equal, you will add the same number on both sides.
STEP 4 uses Division property of Equality. Like Step 3, to keep both sides of the equation equal, you must divide both sides with the same number. It keeps the statement true by doing so.
STEP 4 and 5 uses transitive property if you examine both as a whole.
Transitive property assumes that if a = b and b = c, then a = c
If 18/18 (a) = 1 (b), and x (c) = 18/18(a) then, x (c) = 1 (b).
Answer:
A. x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(5x+3)=14x+30
multiply 4 to 5x and multiply 4 yo 3
20x+12=14x+30
move terms
20x-14x=30-12
subtract 20x to 14x and subtract 30 to 12
6x=18
divide both sides by 8
x=3
1 7/8 because 15/8 =1 7/8

Answer:
640 = .8j
640 = 1.15c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let j = cost of Jocelyn's computer
c = cost of Corbin's computer
We know that Adrian's computer costs $640.
Since Adrian's computer costs 20% less than Jocelyn's computer, the cost of Adrian's computer is 80% of (.8 times)the cost of Jocelyn's computer, so 640 = .8j
Since Adrian's computer costs 15% more than Corbin's computer, the cost of Adrian's computer is 115% of (1.15 times) the cost of Corbin's computer, so 640 = 1.15c
