Determine whether the statement is always true, sometimes true, or never true. Give an example. (a) Both sides of an equation ca

n be multiplied by the same number without changing the solution of the equation. (b) Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied by the same number without changing the solution set of the inequality. When do you put the brackets on the graph of a solution set

Answer:

(A) Always true

(B) Seldom true

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Both sides of an equation can be multiplied by the same number without this action changing the solution of the equation.

Keyword here is "number".

Multiplying both sides of an equation by an equal quantity (same number) will result in same solution after solving for the unknown in the equation. This is because that numeric quantity can always be removed by dividing both sides of the equation by it or by a factor (or multiple) of it.

EXAMPLE:

For a linear equation, 4x - 6 = 15x

let's find the solution, in other words solve for the unknown value X.

4x - 15x = 6

-11x = 6

x = -6/11

Now multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

3(4x - 6) = 3(15x)

12x - 18 = 45x   ___new equation

Solve for X

12x - 45x = 18

-33x = 18

x = -18/33

Reduce the fraction to its simplest form by looking for a number that can divide both numerator and denominator without remainder. In other words, think of a number that is a factor of 18 and a factor of 33.

That common factor or highest common factor (HCF) is 3.

Go ahead and reduce the fraction.

x will be reduced to -6/11

(B) Both sides of an inequality can seldom be multiplied by the same number, without such action changing the solution set of the equation.

Inequalities are more complex. Operational signs even change sometimes, in the course of finding the solution set of the inequality.

Sometimes, multiplying both sides of an inequality by a given numeric quantity will change its solution set and sometimes, it won't.

Here you'll want to add 5/8 with 5/8.  Since they have the same denominator already then 5/8+5/8 = 10/8.  Simplifying that down to 5/4 then changing to a mixed number is 1 1/4 inches.

10.) state whether the given side lengths can form a triangle
Verizon [17]

Answer:

A. 5,8,12, side lengths can form a triangle.

B. 20, 18, 2, side lengths can not form a triangle.

C. 15, 26 , 9, side lengths can not form a triangle.

D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25, side lengths can form a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given three sides in options A, B , C and D.

We need to check if the given sides would form a triangle or not.

Note: Sum of two sides is always greater than third sides in a triangle.

So, we need to check the sum of two sides of given sides length to check if sum is greater than third side length.

A. 5,8,12.

5+8 is greater than 12.

5+12 is greater than 8.

12+8 is greater than 5.

Therefore A. 5,8,12, side lengths can form a triangle.

B. 20, 18, 2

18+2 is not greater than 20.

Therefore B. 20, 18, 2, side lengths can not form a triangle.

C. 15, 26 , 9

15+9 is less than 26.

Therefore C. 15, 26 , 9, side lengths can not form a triangle.

D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25.

4.75+12.25 is greater than 16.25.

4.75+16.25 is greater than 12.25.

12.25+16.25 is greater than 4.75.

Therefore D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25, side lengths can form a triangle.
