Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Show that if 3x – 7 = 5, then x = 4.
Here, our given statement is 3x – 7 = 5, and we're asked to prove x = 4.
x=4
Statements Reasons
1. 3x – 7 = 5 Given
2. 3x – 7 + 7 = 5 + 7 Addition of 7 to equation (1)
3. 3x + 0 = 5 + 7 Substitution of –7 + 7 = 0 into (2)
4. 3x = 5 + 7 Substitution of 3x + 0 = 3x into (3)
5. 3x = 12 Substitution of 5 + 7 = 12 into (4)
6. 3x⁄3 = 12⁄3 Dividing equation (5) by 3
7. x = 12⁄3 Substitution of 3x⁄3 = x into (6)
8. x = 4 Substitution of 12⁄3 = 4 into (7)
Is there such a thing as being too descriptive? Yep, and that was it, since over half the proof was devoted to telling the reader how to do arithmetic. We'll typically take numerical computation for granted, and write proofs like this:
J can give you some example:
absolute (1-3)=absolute(-2)=2

Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes Lily saved. Then the value of her coins in cents is ...
10d +100(16-d) = 520
-90d +1600 = 520 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
-90d = -1080 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600
d = -1080/-90 = 12 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d
Lily has 12 ten-cent coins.
