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.

A market buys watermelons for $1.25 they want to make a 20% profit what should they charge for the watermelons
Serhud [2]

Answer: $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of watermelon = $1.25

Profit percent = 20%

Profit = Profit percent × Cost price

= 20% × $1.25

= 20/100 × $1.25

= 0.2 × $1.25

= $0.25

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

Selling price = $1.25 + $0.25

Selling price = $1.50

They should charge $1.50 for the watermelons

A team has 3 wins for every loss they loss games how many did they win??
OLEGan [10]
The team has lost only 6 games (according to the comments). Let's say "x" is the amount of losses and "y" is the amount of wins.

For every loss, they have 3 wins, so in the end, this would be the equation:
y = 3x
or
y = 3 \times x
Although the first one would be the easier and most understandable to read.

So:
y = 3(6)
would equal

If angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary angles, and angle 3 and angle 2 are supplementary angles, what do you know about angle
dusya [7]

Answer:

  angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles supplementary to the same angle are congruent. Here both angles 1 and 3 are supplementary to angle 2, so angles 1 and 3 are congruent.

_____

If you like, you can get there algebraically:

  m∠1 + m∠2 = 180

  m∠3 + m∠2 = 180

Subtract the second equation from the first:

  (m∠1 + m∠2) - (m∠3 + m∠2) = (180) - (180)

  m∠1 -m∠3 = 0 . . . . simplify

  m∠1 = m∠3 . . . . . . add m∠3

When angle measures are the same, the angles are congruent.

  ∠1 ≅ ∠3
