When solving this equation: -16 + x = -15 we start with adding 16 to both sides. Why do we use addition?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

So you can cancel out the 16. See, the -16 is negative, and if we add +16 to it, then it cancels out and is 0. That way, you have x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

-16x+x=-15

+16x +16

0+x=1

x=1

Answer:

The answer is

$y = \frac{1}{4} x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in and solve the equation. We are trying to find the y-intercept:

$y= \frac{1}{4}x + b \\ 2 = \frac{1}{4} ( - 4) + b \\ 2 = - 1 + b \\ \frac{ + 1 = + 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{3 = b}$

We found the y-intercept, so now we plug it in it's right full spot in the formula.

$y = \frac{1}{4} x + 3$

Answer:

The student's z-score will not change

Explanation:

Z-scores are used to compare results of an individual or entity to the average population's scores.

Since the adjustment of additional points is added to each class member's score, the adjustment will shift the entire distribution of scores. However, there will not be a change in the relative position of the student's score in the class. As a result, the student's z-score will not change.
