PLS HELP IM FAILING MATH!

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

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!)

Aisha recorded the heights, in centimetres, of some girls.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The median is marked at 161cm instead of 162cm.

The right part of the box (the upper quartile) is marked at 172cm, while the interquartile range is 17cm, so the upper quartile should be at 154cm + 17cm = 171cm.

W=15 no

W= 21 no

W= 1 Yes

If im right the question is just asking which variable is less than 15.

What is the equation of the graphed line​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is clearly marked:  it's b = 3 (or 0, 3).

Going from the point (-3, -3) to the point (0, 3),

x increases by 3 and y increases by 6.  Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = 6 / 3, or m = 2.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:

y = mx + b, we substitute 2 for m and 3 for b, obtaining:

y = 2x + 3
