Mathematics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.

3 = x/2 - 5

Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.

8 = x/2

What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.

What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)

Correct Step 2:

Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.

x = 16

Incorrect Step 2:

8/2 = (x/2)/2

4 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).

16 = x

Answer: 5

Because the two angles are congruent, these sides are congruent, so:

5x-8=2x+7
3x=15
x=5

Write an equation passing through the point and perpendicular to the given line: (-3,5);y = 3/4x-4
balandron [24]

Hey!

So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).

Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.

5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:

y = -(4/3)x + 1
