Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6

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

  1. Distribute 3:                    12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
  2. Combine like terms:       8x - 14 = -6
  3. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                 8x = 8
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                          x = 1

<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>:                    3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
  2. Multiply:                               3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
  3. Subtract:                              3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
  4. Multiply:                               -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
  5. Subtract:                              -7 + 1 = -6
  6. Add:                                     -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.

What is the length of QR?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right with hypotenuse QR

Use Pythagoras' identity to solve for QR

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

QR² = 8² + (8\sqrt{3} )²

       = 64 + 192

       = 256 ( take the square root of both sides )

QR = \sqrt{256} = 16

What is 5C3?<br> A. 35<br> B. 10<br> C. 14<br> D. 28
galben [10]

Answer: B. 10

-5C3 or 5 choose 3 refers to how many combinations are possible from 5 items, taken 3 at a time. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula nCr = n! / r! ... * (n - r)!, where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

-10 is the total number of all possible combinations for choosing 3 elements at a time from 5 distinct elements without considering the order of elements in statistics & probability surveys or experiments. The number of combinations for sample space 5 CHOOSE 3 can also be written as 5C3 in the format of nCr or nCk.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D

Whats the total area of covered box with a length of 4ft a width oc 3ft and height of 6 ft
hodyreva [135]
The total area of a box is the sum of all the area of the faces it has. It is also called the surface area. The area of one face of a rectangular box is equal to the product of its length and width. So, the total area would be:

SA = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
SA = 2(4)(3) + 2(3)(6) + 2(4)(6)
SA = 108 ft^2

Emily gives her bird 1/8 cup of bird seeds along with 1/3 cup of grains each day. How much food is given each day to the bird
ANEK [815]

Answer:

11/24 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

What you would do is add 1/8 plus 1/3. To add two fractions, each much have the same denominator. In this case, you would need to multiply 1/8 into 3/24 by multiplying 1/8 by 3 on the denominator and numerator. For 1/3, multiply each the numerator and denominator by 8 getting the fraction 8/24. Now you can line up each fraction and add the numerators, keeping the denominator at 24. That answer would be 11/24. This cannot be simplified, so the answer is 11/24 cup of food.

Whenever you are confused with assignments, it is best to tell your parent to help you or teacher the next day. Hope this helps though!
