Okay. In my opinion, all the class has to do is simplify the expressions and compare. But they want to substitute instead.
Well then.
First, let's notice that these are linear expressions, meaning that if they are equivalent then all their values match up.
Number 1 is not a good one. Just because they're both positive doesn't mean anything; they have to be <em>the same.</em>
This also eliminates 3.
Number 2 is a good one, but it's not as reliable. If, for instance, the two expressions are <em>not </em>equivalent and you get lucky enough to pick that one value they intersect at (or have in common), then you'd be wrong when you say they are equivalent.
Number 4 makes the most sense because if both expressions are equivalent, then every value matches up. If not, then only one will. So having two values to substitute will most definitely answer the class question.
Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up! ;)
We can divide 18 pounds by 2/3 pounds to find how many servings of meals the dogs will have.
We will use the keep change flip rule to solve this.
18 / 2/3 is then the same as 18 x 3/2
We then multiply across to get
54/2
This would be 27 meals that the food will last
Answer:
are there choices?
Step-by-step explanation:
You follow the rules for the quadratic formula, where
x= (-b +- √(b²-4ac) )/2a
Filling a, b and c in yields
x = (8 +- √(64-164) ) / 2 =>
x = (8 - √-100)/2 or x = (4 + √-100)/2
Well, √-100 = 10i, so then you simplify to the last answer, D:
x = 4-5i or x=4+5i
Answer:
100 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Alex house = F
Alex school = H
Alex bus stop = G
FG = 2x meters
GH = 1000meters
FH = 1200 meters
Hence,
FH = FG + GH
1200 = (2x + 1000) meters
1200 = 2x + 1000
1200 - 1000 = 2x
200 = 2x
x = 100meters
Hence, x = 100 meters
