Answer:

Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Nigel expressed as

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

First, we need to expand the bracket using the distributive property

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

4(5x)-4(12) -7x = 5x

20x - 48 - 7x = 5x

Hence Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Next is to collect the like terms;

20x - 7x - 48 = 5x

Take the difference

13x - 48 = 5x

Next is to subtract 13x from both sides according to the symmetric property

13x - 48 - 13x = 5x - 13x

Hence Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

The resulting equation will be

0-48 = -8x

Divide both sides by -8

-48/-8 = -8x/-8

6 = x

Hence the correct justifications are Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property AND Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

The length of a rectangle is 12 in. and the perimeter is 56 in. Find the width of the rectangle.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

W = 16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

56 = 2(12) + 2W

56 = 24 + 2W

56-24 = 2W

32 = 2W

W = 32/2

W = 16 in
