Answer:
D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Aaron, Blaine, and Cruz are solving the equation 4/7 (7 − n) = −1. Aaron started his solution by multiplying both sides of the equation by 7/4 . Blaine started by using the distributive property to multiply 4/7 by both 7 and −n. Cruz started by dividing both sides of the equation by 4/7 .
Which of the following is true?
A. Blaine and Cruz made an error in picking their first steps.
B. Cruz made an error in picking his first step.
C. All three made an error because the right side equals -1.
D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.
Given:
4/7(7 - n) = -1
Aaron:
4/7(7 - n) = -1
Multiple both sides by 7/4
4/7(7 - n) * 7/4 = -1 * 7/4
7 - n = -7/4
- n = -7/4 - 7
- n = (-7-28)/4
- n = -35/4
n = 35/4
Blaine:
4/7(7 - n) = -1
4/7(7 - n) × 7 = -1 × 7
4(7 - n) = -7
28 - 4n = -7
-4n = -7 - 28
- 4n = - 35
n = -35/-4
n = 35/4
Cruz:
4/7(7 - n) = -1
Divide both sides by 4/7
4/7(7 - n) ÷ 4/7 = -1 ÷ 4/7
4/7(7 - n) × 7/4 = -1 × 7/4
7 - n = -7/4
- n = (-7-28)/4
- n = -35/4
n = 35/4
D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3,2) and (0,0)
The slope of the line is given by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (2-0)/(3-0)
2/3
Answer:
Additive
-2 = 2
18 = -18
-30 = 30
2/5 = -2/5
Multiplicative
8/9 = 9/8
12/15 = 15/12
-6 = -1/6
10 = 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
an<em> additive inverse</em> is a number you must add to another number to get 0
(think of it as the negative version of the number)
<em>{but WHY? In math, you can imagine comparing numbers on a number line. If we are finding the opposite of a number, we want to find the same distance from 0, but on the opposite side of 0. So, 2 would be two to the right of 0, -2 would be two to the left of 0}</em>
-2 + 2 = 0
18 - 18 = 0
-30 + 30 = 0
2/5 - 2/5 = 0
a <em>multiplicative inverse</em> is a number that you multiply by another number to get 1.
We are finding the "reciprocal" of a number; you are essentially flipping it as a fraction
(reciprocal of 2 = 1/2 {remember, 2 is the same thing as 2/1 } ; reciprocal of 1 / 8 = 8)
<em>note: reciprocal is being used interchangeably with multiplicative inverse here</em>
<em />
8/9 · 9/8 = 1
12/15 · 15/12 = 1
-6 · -1/6 = 1 {-6 = -6/1}
10 · 1/10 = 1 {10 = 10/1}
hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
$900, but not too sure if this is a question to trick you.
B is the best answer for this problem.
Sorry if I’m wrong
