- Addition Property of Equality
- Subtraction Property of Equality
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
1/2(8x - 4) = 2x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 1/2: 4x - 2 = 2x
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: 2x - 2 = 0
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides: 2x = 2
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: x = 1
Isn't this a subtraction problem, not a multiplication problem?
If John starts out with 20 fish and lets 6 go, he still has (20-6), or 14, fish.
So 37 1/2
each can hold 2 1/2 oz
how many cups can he fill
37 1/2=75/2
2 1/2=5/2
x=number of cups
x times 5/2=75/2
5/2x=75/2
multiply both sides by 2
5x=75
divide both sides by 5
x=15
he can fill 15 cups
