Answer:Hope This Helps ☺️

Step-by-step explanation:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CASE 1: substitute 1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (1) - 5)+ 2(1-3) = - (-1) + 2(-2) = 1 - 4 = -3

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(1) - 5 = -2-5 = -7

Hence for x= 1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because -3 ≠ -7

CASE 2: substitute -1 for x to both sides of the equations

L.H.S

-(4x-5)+2(x-3)

-(4 (-1) - 5)+ 2(-1-3) = - (-9) + 2(-4) = 9 - 8 = 1

R.H.S

-2x - 5

-2(-1) - 5 = 2-5 = -3

Hence for x= -1

-(4x-5)+2(x-3) ≠ -2x -5

Because 1 ≠ -3

Answer:

She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1

How do I solve for X?

lidiya [134]

We use the theory of Pythagoras because the triangle is right.

$AB {}^{2} = AC {}^{2} + BC {}^{2}$
since AB = AC = x
$8 {}^{2} = x {}^{2} + x {}^{2}$
$64 = 2x {}^{2}$
$32 = x {}^{2}$
$x = \sqrt{32}$
$x = \sqrt{16 } \times \sqrt{2}$
$x = 4 \sqrt{2}$

WILL give BRAINLIEST

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent Tony's average daily balance. The finance charge is computed from ...

... finance charge = 2.25% × b

We can fill in the given value and divide by the coefficient of b.

... $12.60 = 0.0225b

... $12.60/0.0225 = b = $560.00

Tony's average daily balance was $560.00.

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (4,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y=-2x+8.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines will have slopes that are the multiplicative additive inverse of each other: a line with slope 3/4 is perpendicular to a line with slope -4/3, for example. You need a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope -2 (reading that from the -2 in the -2x portion of the given equation, which is written in slope-intercept form), so your new line must have slope +1/2.

With the slope and a point, we can come up with an equation using this formula:

y - y-coordinate = slope (x - x-coordinate)

So we have y - (-2) = 1/2 (x - 4).

Simplify the equation: y + 2 = 1/2 x - 2

Subtract 2 from both sides: y + 2 - 2 = 1/2 x - 2 - 2

Simplify: y = 1/2 x - 4.
