Answer:

  (a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.

In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.

In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.

In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.

PLEASE OPEN THIS, I NEED HELP!!!! WHAT BELONGS IN THE ? AND WHY?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:  see below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1

If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4

The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1

y = (-1)x + (4)   -->    y = -x + 4

Right side: -1 < x < 4

The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.

The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1

y = (-1)x + (0)    -->    y = -x

\large\boxed{f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll} -x+4&;-4\leq x

Answer:

<em><u>Given </u></em><em><u>-</u></em>

  • <em><u>radius </u></em><em><u>of </u></em><em><u>cylinder </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>6</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>ft</u></em>
  • <em><u>height </u></em><em><u>of </u></em><em><u>cylinder </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>4</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>ft</u></em>

Now ,

volume = \pi \: r {}^{2} h \\  =  >  \frac{22}{\cancel{7}}  \times 6 \times\cancel{ 14} \\  \\  =  > 22 \times 6 \times 2 \\  =  > 264 \: ft {}^{3}
