<h3>hello!</h3>

Use the distributive property:-

4(2x-1)

8x-4

8x-4+3=8x+1

8x-8x-4+3=1

8x-8x-1=1

0-1=1

-1=1

Wait, what? -1 is equal to 1?

Hence, the equation has no solutions.

Hope it helps :)

Maria solved the equation. 4 (3 x minus 8) minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 32 minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 36 = 24. 12 x = 60. x = 5. What

Answer:

1. Distributive property.

2. Combining like terms.

3. Addition property of equality.

4. Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Distributive property states that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ab$

- The Addition property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a+c=b+c$

- The Subtraction property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a-c=b-c$

- The Multiplication property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

- The Division property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}$

Given the following equation:

$4(3x-8)-4=24$

We can identify that the methods Maria used to solve it and the order, are:

1. Distributive property:

$(4)(3x)-(4)(8)-4=24\\\\12x-32-4=24$

2. Combining (or adding) like terms:

$12x-36=24$

3. Addition property of equality, because she added 36 to both sides of the equation:

$12x-36+36=24+36\\\\12x=60$

4. Division property of equality, because she divided both sides of the equation by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5$

What is the surface area of the above composite object made out of two rectangular prisms?

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

550 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A net can be drawn as shown in the first figure attached. Each square represents 5 mm by 5 mm, so is 25 mm^2. Altogether, there are 22 of them, so the total area is ...

(25 mm^2)·22 = 550 mm^2

The second attachment shows that net folded up to make the given figure.

_____

In the first attachment, the green shades represent the left- and right-side faces. (Darker green is left side.) The red and blue shades represent the front- and back-side faces. The white rectangles represent the top and bottom faces. The dark black lines are the cut lines. If you want to fold the figure up, the lighter lines are the fold lines.

The second attachment is just verification that all faces are accounted for and the net actually corresponds to the given figure.

Bob and Carol are making glass dolls. On average, they break 12% of the dolls. Today, they only broke 2/3 as many dolls as usual

konstantin123 [22]

If you would like to know how many dolls did Bob and Carol break today, you can calculate this using the following steps:

On average, they break: 12% of 175 = 12/100 * 175 = 21 dolls.
Today: 2/3 as many dolls as usual = 2/3 * 21 = 14 dolls

Result: Bob and Carol broke 14 dolls today.
