Answer:

Additive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - 5 = -14

Required

The property used

In the 2nd step, 5 was added to both sides, i.e.

x - 5+5  = -14 + 5

<em>The above is an illustration of additive property of equality, i.e. Adding or subtracting the same variable or constant to both sides of an equation</em>

The sides of a triangle are 1, x, and x2. what are possible values of x?
Whitepunk [10]
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².

The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.

Consider 3 cases
Case (a):  x < 1,
      Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
      We require that x² + x ≥ 1
      Solve x² + x - 1 = 
      x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
      Reject the negative length.
     Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.

Case (b): x = 1
   This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
    The sides are 1, 1 and 1.

Case (c): x>1
  In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
  We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
  Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
  x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
  Reject the negative answr.
 The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.

Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.

En salón de clases hay 30 alumnos; el 40% son hombres y el 60% son mujeres ¿Cuántos hombres y mujeres hay en el salón de clases?
vodomira [7]

There are 30 students in the classroom; 40% are men and 60% are women. How many men and women are in the classroom?

40/100 = 2/5   60/100 = 3/5   30 ÷ 5 = 6   3 × 6 = 18 so 18 are women 2 × 6 = 12

so there are 12 men.
