Answer:

She factored out a 4 from the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

So our original equation is 12x + 4 = 20x - 12

Anika's first steep of her equation is 3x + 1 = 5x - 3

We know that the terms were not moved around, so the first step was likely multiplication or division.

We also see that a 4 has been factored out of the entire equation, like this:

12x + 4 = 20x - 12

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

And these 4's cancel each other out.

So, I conclude that Anika's first step was dividing the entire equation by 4 or factoring out a 4 from the equation.

the cost of a telephone call 75 cents plus 25 cents times the number of minutes. write an algebraic expression that models the c

Mrrafil [7]

Since the cost of the telephone cost is 25 cents per minute, and by using the variable you provided, "t", the equation thus far is 25t=cost, or 25 multiplied by "t".

Since the telephone also charges 75 cents at the start, we just have to add it into our equation, making 75+25t=cost of telephone call in cents.

answer: 75+25t=cost of telephone call in cents

Answer:

$length = \sqrt{ {(x _{2} - x _{1} ) {}^{2} + (y _{2} - y _{1} )}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(2 - ( - 7))}^{2} + {( - 5 - 4)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {9}^{2} + {( - 9)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{81 + 81} \\ \sqrt{162} \\ = 12.7 \: units$
