when solving the equation 5x-3=5, MaReeco rewrote the equation as 5x =2.Did MaReeco perform an acceptable move to this equation?

why or why not?

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$5x-3=5$

MaReeco's rewrote equation is given by

$5x = 2$

As MaReeco subtracted 3 to the right side of the equation, which imbalanced the equation. Hence, it is not correct.

Correction:

For the next step, MaReeco should have added 3 to both sides

i.e.

$5x-3+3=5+3$

$5x=8$

Therefore, the acceptable move would have been:

$5x=8$

What does x equal in this equation: 24+3x=3x+3(7-1) Please help this is due tomorrow!

Zinaida [17]

      24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

      24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from each side:    <em>24 = 18</em>

Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."

Answer:

Option C is correct.

$38 miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance cover by Michelle

Given:

A circle diameter is 3 miles.

And Michelle biked around the trail 4 times.

We know that

The circumference of a circle.

circumference = $2\pi r$ ----------(1)

where $r=\frac{Diameter}{2}$

$r=\frac{3}{2} \\r=1.5$ miles

Put $\pi =3.14$ and r value in equation 1.

$circumference = 2\times 3.14 1.5$

$circumference = 9.42 mil;es$

The circumference of a circle is 9.42 miles.

And Michelle biked 4 times, that is equal to 4 $\times$ circumference.

$x = 4\times 9.42$

$x = 37.65 miles$ .

That is equal to 38 miles.

Therefore, Michelle biked around 4 trail is 38 miles.

PLEASEEEEEEEE HELP

Answer:

Using the point-slope form:

The equation of the line is given by:

$y-y_1 =m(x-x_1)$ .....[1] where

m is the slope of the line and $(x_1, y_1)$ is the point on the line.

As per the statement:

Given: Two points i,e (34, 76) and (42, 91)

First calculate slope(m):

Slope is given by:

$\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{Slope (m)} = \frac{91-76}{42-34}=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Now, substitute the value of m and (34, 76) in [1] we have;

$y-76 =1.875(x-34)$

Using distributive property: $a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

$y-76 =1.875x-63.75$

Add 76 to both sides we get;

$y=1.875x+76$

Therefore, the equation of the trend line is: $y=1.875x+76$

-4x + 7 = 2y - 3<br> y-intercept:<br><br> x intercept:

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

x-intercept: $\bigg(\frac{5}{2}, \:0\bigg)$

y-intercept: $(0,\:5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3$

$-4x+7=2\left(\bold{0}\right)-3$

Simplify 2(0): $-4x+7=2\cdot \:0-3$

Subtract 0 - 3 = -3: $-4x+7=-3$

Subtract 7 from both sides: $-4x+7-7=-3-7$

Simplify: $-4x=-10$

Divide both sides by -4 $\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-10}{-4}$

$\bold{x=\frac{5}{2}}$

To find the y-intercept, substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3$

$-4(\bold{0})+7=2y-3$

Switch sides: $y-3=-4\left(0\right)+7$

Simplify -4(0): $2y-3=-0+7$

Add 3 to both sides: $2y-3+3=7+3$

Simplify: $2y=10$

Divide both sides by 2: $\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$

$\bold{y=5}$
