Using Properties to Simplify Expressions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1) 2x-3 = x -3 + x

2) 2x - 6 = -6 + 2x

3) \frac{3}{5}-\frac{13}{5}=-6.9+4.9

4) 3x+0 = 3x

5)  \frac{5}{3}-x+\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{3}{2}x+2+\frac{1}{2}x

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to match each expression on the left with an equivalent expression on the right

The expressions are equivalent if the have the same results.

1) 2x - 3

Looking at the options the best match is:

x -3 + x

When solve we get:

2x-3

So, 2x-3 = x -3 + x

2) 2x - 6

Looking at the options the best match is:

-6 + 2x

Because according to commutative property: a+b = b+a

So, 2x - 6 = -6 + 2x

3) \frac{3}{5}-\frac{13}{5}

First simplifying the given expression:

\frac{3}{5}-\frac{13}{5}\\=\frac{3-13}{5}\\=\frac{-10}{5}\\=-2

Looking at the options, -6.9+4.9 = -2

So, \frac{3}{5}-\frac{13}{5}=-6.9+4.9

4) 3x + 0

Looking at the options the best match is:

3x

Because, adding 0 in 3x will result in 3x

So, 3x+0 = 3x

5) \frac{5}{3}-x+\frac{1}{3}

First simplifying:

\frac{5}{3}-x+\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{5-3x+1}{3}\\=\frac{6-3x}{3}\\=  \frac{3(2-x)}{3}\\=2-x

Now, solving the option: -\frac{3}{2}x+2+\frac{1}{2}x

=\frac{-3x+4+1x}{2}\\=\frac{-2x+4}{2}\\=\frac{2(-x+2)}{2}\\=-x+2\\or\\=2-x

So, \frac{5}{3}-x+\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{3}{2}x+2+\frac{1}{2}x

Answer:

2(x+10) = 3x-30          (reason: vertical angles are congruent)

2x+20 = 3x-30

20 = 1x-30

1x = 20+30

1x = 50

x = 50

Complete the following for a rectangular prism
denis-greek [22]

Width= 8 cm

Because 192 / 2 = 96 / 12 = 8

SA= (perimeter * height) + 2 (length * width)

SA= (20*12)+2(2*8)

SA= 240+32

SA= 272 cm2
