PLS HELP IM FAILING MATH!

Mathematics
1 answer:
oksano4ka [1.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Never true

2. Never true

3. Bad question!  Typo? (see discussion below)

4. Always true

5. Always false

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 13 = x + 1.  Subtract  x  from both sides of the equation, and you get -13 = 1.  False!  (Never true!)

2.  x + 1/2 = x - 1/2.  Subtract x from both sides:  1/2 = - 1/2.  False! (Never true!)

3. This one's weird, with two equal signs.  That's not unusual; multiple equal signs are often used when a chain of equalities is being displayed.  For instance, you can write  (3)(2x + 5) = (3)(2x) + (3)(5) = 6x + 15.  That's an example of the Distributive Property--the 3 is multiplied by both of the terms inside parentheses (shown after the first equal sign), then actually doing those multiplications produces the expression after the second equal sign.

OK!  This question says 2(x + 3) = 5x = 6 - 3x.  Take it in two parts.

a. 2(x + 3) = 5x   Distribute the 2.

2x + 6 = 5x   Now subtract 2x from both sides.

6 = 3x   Divide both sides by 3.

2 = x  So that first part is true only when x = 2.  Gaa!  That's not one of your answer choices.  Now, check out the second part

b.  5x = 6 - 3x  Add 3x to both sides.

8x = 6   Divide by 8

x = 6/8 = 3/4

It doesn't help to use the first and <u>third</u> expressions, either.

2(x + 3) = 6 - 3x   Distribute the 2

2x + 6 = 6 - 3x  Add 3x.

5x + 6 = 6   Subtract 6.

5x = 0   Divide by 5

x = 0

None of these is always false.  None of these is always true.

4.  x - 3 = 2x - 3 - x   Simplify the right side by combining the x terms.

x - 3 = x - 3  Aha!  Same expression on both sides!  Always true

5.  3(x - 5) = 2(x - 5) + x  Distribute the 3. Distribute the 2.

3x - 15 = 2x - 10 + x  Combine the x terms on the right.

3x - 15 = 3x - 10  Subtract 3x

-15 = -10  (Always false!)

1/4 (84x - 100)=?<br><br>I can't solve it! please help me!
slamgirl [31]
The answer is 21x-25 because all you have to do is multiply the 1/4 by the 84x and then multiply 1//4 by negative 100. A simpler way of explaining this is just that you need to distribute

Mona wrote 7 tests, and her test average is 93. There will be one more test before the end of the year. What is the lowest grade
olga55 [171]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is assume that all the tests are worth the same.
 Then, we define a variable:
 x: score of Mona's last test
 We write now the inequality that models the problem:
 \frac{93 + x}{2}  \geq  90
 From here, we clear the value of x: 93 + x  \geq  90*(2) &#10;&#10;93 + x  \geq  180&#10;&#10; x  \geq  180 - 93&#10;&#10; x  \geq  87
 Answer:
 
the lowest grade that Mona can get for her last test so that her test average is 90 or more is:
 
x = 87
