<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

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

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<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(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

By looking at the graph, we can see that the line cuts at 1/2 on the y-axis, therefore eliminating option D.

So now we have: y = mx + 1/2

Next, we'll find the slope. \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Plug the coordinates into the formula.

\frac{3-(-2)}{4-(-4)}= \frac{5}{8}

So our slope is 5/8 and the y-intercept is 1/2.

Option A is the answer.

4 bags of cement do 18 m² how many m^2 can be done with seven bags
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

31.5 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount for 7 bags, create a proportion.

\frac{4}{18} =\frac{7}{y}

To solve for y, cross multiply numerator to denominator of each fraction.

4(y) = 18(7)

4y= 126

y= 31.5

7 bags will do 31.5 m^2
