Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

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

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

  1. Distribute:                                     3x - 6 = 2x + 2
  2. Subtract 2x on both sides:          x - 6 = 2
  3. Add 6 to 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) = 2(8 + 1)
  2. Subtract/Add:                      3(6) = 2(9)
  3. Multiply:                               18 = 18

Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.

∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 113 and a leg is 112.
melomori [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Use the formula: a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

Remember c^{2} should always be the hypotenuse or the longest side.

112^{2}+b^{2}=113^{2} ---> evaluate the exponents

12544+b^{2}=12769 ----> subtract 12544 to the other side

b^{2}=225 ---> take the square root of both sides

b=15

Some of the students three scores is 231. If the first is 20 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 more
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The first score is 109

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that in the first sentence of the question, you meant:

Sum of the students three scores is 231...

First, let the scores of the first second and third student be a, b and c respectively. We are told that:

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . . . .(1)         (sum of students three scores is 231)

a = b + 20 . . . . . . . . . . . (2)        (the first is 20 points more than the second)

a + b = 6c . . . . . . . . . . . .(3)        (sum of the first two is 6 more times the third)

required, find a.

substituting the value of (a + b) in equation (3) into equation (1), we will have the following:

since a + b = 6c . . . (3)

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . (1), becomes,

(a + b) + c = 231

(6c)  + c = 231

7c = 231 (divide both sides by 7)

c = 231 ÷ 7 = 33

∴ c = 33

Next, from equation (2), we know that a = b + 20; this can also be written as:

a - 20 = b

∴ b = a - 20 . . . . . . . (4)

Finally, putting the value of b in equation (4) and the value of c calculated above into equation 1, ( a + b + c = 231), we have the following:

a + (a - 20) + 33 = 231

(a + a) - 20 + 33 = 231

2a + 13 = 231

2a = 231 - 13 = 218

a = 218 ÷ 2 = 109

∴ a = 109

we can also calculate for 'b' by substituting for the value of 'a' in equation 4

b = a - 20 = 109 - 20 = 89.

and to test if the values of a, b and c are correct:

a + b + c = 231

109 + 89 + 33 = 231
