Answer:

1a. multiplication property of equality

1b. distributive property

1c. subtraction property of equality

1d. division property of equality

2a. distributive property

2b. addition property of equality

2c. division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The properties that let you do the same thing to both sides of an equation are the properties of equality. These are usually given an additional qualifier according to the operation being performed: addition property ..., subtraction property ..., multiplication property ..., division property .... The property that lets you add or eliminate parentheses is the distributive property (of multiplication over addition).

To answer these questions, you need to compare each line to the previous to see what operation was performed. It will generally be use of one of the properties described above, or "simplification," in which like terms are combined.

1a. both sides are multiplied by 3: multiplication property of equality

1b. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

1c. 18 is subtracted from both sides: subtraction property of equality

1d. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

2a. parentheses are eliminated: distributive property

2b. 24 is added to both sides: addition property of equality

2c. both sides are divided by 2: division property of equality

Square root method please solve -3x^2=48

Natalka [10]

Answer:

x=√16

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2=48

First, we divide by -3 on both sides of the equation.

x^2=16

Then we find the square root of both sides.

x=√16

1/2 can't be rounded so its 1/2 still.
3 4/11 rounds to 3.
2 1/0 rounds to 2.

Box A has a volume of 12 cubic meters. Box B is similar to box A. To create box B, box A's dimensions were multiplied by five. W

cestrela7 [59]

The formula for the volume of a box (assuming that it is in the shape of a cube) is V=B^3.

12=B^3

Now, do the cube root of 12 to find each dimension, all dimensions will be equal as it is a cube.

B= about 2.29 (when doing on a calculator keep full answer and do not round)

Now to find the volume of box B, multiply each dimension by 5

5(2.29...) times 5(2.29...) times 5(2.29...)

=1,500 m^3

Hope this helps!

What is the value of X if the quadrilateral is a rhombus?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Since all the sides of a rhombus are equal you have to let 15= 4x+3 so it will proceed like this:

15=4x+3
(Subtract 3 from each side)
12=4x
(Divide each side by 4 to isolate the variable, x)
x=3

Hope this explanation helps ;)

Which function is the inverse of Rx) = 8x + 4?

babunello [35]

Answer:

$B.~f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-4}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, swap the places of the x and y variables and solve for y again.

$x=8y+4\\x-4=8y\\\frac{x-4}{8}=y$
