Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

g(x) = 1/2x - 5

g(x) = 8

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

  1. Substitute:                    8 = 1/2x - 5
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:               13 = 1/2x
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                       26 = x
  4. Rewrite:                         x = 26

How many solutions does the equation have?<br><br> 2x + 3 = 4x + 2
fenix001 [56]
Well, solve for x.

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

So, there is only one solution: 1/2

List all the pairs of integers with a product of 36. then find the pair whose sum is 20
RoseWind [281]
This is an excellent practice for the solution of quadratic equations.

1*36=36  => (1,36)
2*18=36  => (2,18)
3*12=36  => (3,12)
4*9=36   => (4,9)
6*6=36   => (6,6)
9*4=36   => (9,4)
12*3=36  => (12,3)
18*2=36  => (18,2)
36*1=36  => (36,1)

We can see that the sum decreases until the two factors are close (or equal) and then increases again.

The pair of integers with a sum of 20 is therefore (2,18) or (18,2).

A party tent is used for an outdoor event. Ropes of equal length support each tent pole. The angle the rope makes with the floor
Virty [35]
Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5
