Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients/Degrees
  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Multiple Roots
  • Factoring
  • Completing the Square: -b/(2a)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 8x + 15 = 0

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

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides:                     x² - 8x = -15
  2. Complete the Square [Addition Property of Equality]:                                 x² - 8x + 16 = -15 + 16
  3. [Complete the Square] Simplify:                                                                   (x - 4)² = 1
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                  x - 4 = ±1
  5. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides:                                   x = 4 ± 1
  6. Evaluate:                                                                                                          x = 3, 5

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the equation for direct variation is y=kx where y varies directly with x and k is the constant of proportionality. If we take any listed coordinate point, we can determine the value of k. I will use (20,120) as an example:

y=kx\\\\120=k(20)\\\\6=k

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 6
