Answer:

<h3>A. Add 3 to both sides of the equation</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality equation is not well written Let's say the equation is given as:

5x - 3 > 2

<em>The best first step in solving this equation is by removing - 3 from the left hand side of the equation since all we want to do is make x the subject of the formula:</em>

To remove the -3, <u>we will have to add 3 to both sides of the inequality </u>as shown:

5x - 3 + 3> 2 +3

5x + 0 > 5

5x > 5

To get x, we will then divide both sides by 5

5x/5 > 5/5

x > 1

hence the best first step according to the explanation above is to Add 3 to both sides of the equation. Option A is correct

Find the area of a square with a diagonal of 8cm.
klio [65]
You have to use the Pythagorean theorem but there is a little twist here since a square has has equal sides. So:
x^2+x^2=8
2x^2=8
2/2x^2=8/2
x^2=4
√x^2=√4
x=2
The side of the square is 2.
So now the area of a square is:
Side×Side
2×2=4
The area of the square is 4 centimetres
