These concepts become more clear when teachers use number disks instead of base ten blocks. Place value is a very important concept for elementary students because base ten is the foundation of our number system.
Problem 11
<h3>Answer: h =
2A/b</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b
A = (1/2)*b*h
2A = b*h
b*h = 2A
h = 2A/b

Problem 12
<h3>Answers:</h3>
- Equation: (n+2)/5 = 14
- Solution to that equation: n = 68
------------------
Explanation:
The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2
Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5
This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14
Solving the equation would look like this
(n+2)/5 = 14
n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5
n+2 = 70
n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides
n = 68
================================================
Problem 13
<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>
------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify
-2x + 5 > 13
-2*(-3) + 5 > 13
6 + 5 > 13
11 > 13
The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.
Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
Answer:
If you are finding the equation using two points then the answer is
y = −2 x + 1
If this does not help, just ignore honestly.
Any irrational number, for example the square root of 2 or pi.
