Answer: Choice B)
(y+5)+y = 6
----------------------------------------------------------------
So what we do is start with x+y = 6. We can replace the 'x' with (y+5). This replacement is possible because x = y+6; ie x and y+6 are the same. Another term for "replace" is "substitute"
This is how we're able to go from x+y = 6 to (y+5)+y = 6
Add 8.
Go backwards on a number line from -4 8 times.
Answer:
The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!
Step-by-step explanation:
The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac
In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!
Answer:
y = -5/4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation they give you is in slope intercept form. y=mx+b. The m is the slope (-5/4). Since they want a parallel line you keep the same slope for point slope form. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). the y1 and x1 are where you plug in the coordinates they give you.
y - 1 = -5/4x (x + 4)
y - 1 = -5/4x - 5
y = -5/4x - 4
