Which is a reasonable first step that can be used to solve the equation 4 x + 3 (x + 2) = 5 (2 x minus 3)? Distribute the 3 to x

+ 2, and distribute the 5 to (2x – 3). Combine 4x and x on the left side of the equation. Apply the subtraction property of equality to move the 2 from the left to the right side of the equation. Apply the addition property of equality to move the 3 from the right to the left side of the equation.

Answer:

Distribute the 3 to x + 2, and distribute the 5 to (2x – 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)

Required

Reasonable first step

The reasonable first step is to open the brackets; i.e. distribute 3 to its bracket and 5 to its bracket.

This gives:

4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)

4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15

<em>Then the solution can be continued</em>

What set would no longer be a A function if the ordered pair(5,3) was added
Delicious77 [7]
The answer is D because a function means for every input  you get exactly one output so
for every x you get one y
in D there is a coordinate (5,2) meaning that if you put in 5 for x you get 2 for y

but the new ordered pair also  has 5 for x but has a difarent y value.  this violates the definition of a funciton

A number t decreased by 2 is at least 7
9966 [12]
Answer:
t - 2 ≥ 7; t ≥ 9

Explanation:
“a number t” = t
“decreased by 2” = - 2
“Is at least 7” = ≥ 7
So, t - 2 ≥ 7

To solve for t - 2 ≥ 7, add 2 to both sides of the equation

t - 2 ≥ 7
t - 2 + 2 ≥ 7 + 2
t ≥ 9

So, t ≥ 9

Workers are grouped by their areas of expertise and are placed on at least one team. 20 are on the marketing team, 30 are on the
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: C. 74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M= Number of workers are in marketing team .

S = Number of workers are in Sales team.

V = Number of workers are in Vision team.

As per given , we have

n(M) = 20 , n(S) = 30 , n(V) = 40

n(M∩S) = 5  ,  n(V∩S) = 6  ,  n(M∩V)  = 9

n(M∩S∩V) =4

Using formula of sets , we get

n(M∪S∪V) =n(M)+n(S) +n(V) -n(M∩S) - n(V∩S)-n(M∩V) +n(M∩S∩V)

Substitute the corresponding values , we get

n(M∪S∪V) =20+30+40-5-6-9 +4

=  74

∴ The number of workers are in at least one team = 74

Therefore , the total number of workers =74

Hence, the correct option is : C. 74
