Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5(x - 8) + 7 = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract 7 on both sides:                    5(x - 8) = -5
  2. Divide 5 on both sides:                       x - 8 = -1
  3. Add 8 on both sides:                           x = 7

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     5(7 - 8) + 7 = 2
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract:        5(-1) + 7 = 2
  3. Multiply:                                -5 + 7 = 2
  4. Add:                                      2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 7 is the solution to the equation.

Latoya has b decks of cards . Each deck has 52 cards in it , what is the expression for the total numbers of cards latoya has
Lerok [7]

Answer:

52b

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

For 10 decks, she has 520 cards, or 52×10 cards.

Therefore, for b decks, she has 52×b, or 52b cards.
