1 answer:

5 0

The Pythagorean theorem deals with the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The theorem states that: The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A possible solution is 60/2 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The dividend is a factor of 60

The divisor is a factor of 18

The quotient is a multiple of 3

The dividend is the amount divided

The dividend is the number that is dividing the dividend

The quotient is the result of the division operation

The given numbers to use are 60, 2, 30, and 18

Therefore one possible solution is 60/2 = 30

The dividend = 60 which is a factor of 60 (60 × 1 = 60)

The divisor = 2 which is a factor of 18 (2 × 9 = 18)

The quotient = 30 which is a multiple of 3 (3 × 10 = 30)

While grading her students' most recent quiz on equation solving, Mrs. Jones calculated that approximately forty percent of her

EastWind [94]

The given equation is,

$3(-n+4)+5n=2n$

Part 1:

Solve the above equation for n.

Using distributive property of multiplication,

$\begin{gathered} -3n+3\times4+5n=2n \\ -3n+12+5n=2n \end{gathered}$

Now, group the like terms.

$-3n+5n-2n+12=0$

Now, add the like terms.

$\begin{gathered} -5n+5n+12=0 \\ 0=-12 \end{gathered}$

0=-12 is a false statement.

Since we obtained a false statement, the given equation has no solution.

So, option b is correct.

Part 2:

The option (a) is n=3.

If while solving an equation, a single value is obtained for the variable, then the equation has only a single solution. If n=3 is obtained after solving the equation, then the student should chose option (a) as the answer.

The option (b) is "no solution".

While solving an equation, if we obtain an equation which is mathematically false, then the equation will have no solution. So, no solution is chosen when no value is obtained for n and the final equation is mathematically false.

The option (c) is "infinitely many solutions".

While solving an equation, if we obtain an equation which is mathematically correct such as 0=0, 7=7 etc., then the equation will have infinietly many solutions. So, infinitely many solutions is chosen when no value is obtained for n and the final equation is mathematically correct.
