  • Left to Right  

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

WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND POINTS :
crimeas [40]

Answer:

BE = FC = 3 inches, EF = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles A and D is 180°, so the sum of their half-angles is 90°. That is, half of A plus half of B add to 90°, so the bisector from B intersects AE at a right angle. Call that point of intersection X.

Then angle ABX = angle EBX, so triangle ABX is congruent to triangle EBX. Sides AB and BE are corresponding sides of congruent triangles.

The same argument applies to sides DC and CF.

Thus we have BE = CF = 3 inches, and EF is the left-over distance, 2 inches.

Mr. Koppel stops at a gasoline station to get gas for his car. Gasoline costs $1.49 a gallon. About how many gallons will Mr. Ko
GREYUIT [131]


If Mr. Koppel only has $10.00 to spend on gas, and the gas is $1.49 a gallon. We will have to divide $10 into 1.49.

10  ÷  1.49  =  6.7

So, Mr. Koppell will be able to buy 6.7 gallons of gas with his $10.00.

Hope this helps. :)
