Mrs. Stokes solved the equation shown below. Select the correct justification for each step shown.

-3(8x-2)=9-21x Original equation
8x-2=-3+7x
8x+1=7x
1=-x
-1=x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(8x - 2) = 9 - 21x

~Divide -3 to everything

8x - 2 = -3 + 7x

~Add 3 to both sides

8x + 1 = 7x

~Subtract 8x to both sides

1 = -x

~Divide -1 to both sides

-1 = x

Note that this isn't the most used way to solve equations because you would typically use distribution to simplify the left side.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

-3(8x - 2) = 9 - 21x

Calculate the slope of a line that passes through the points (-4,7) and (-1,3)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

[tex] - \frac{4}{3} \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\[/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4,7) and (-1,3)

We have

[tex]m = \frac{3 - 7}{ - 1 - - 4} = \frac{ - 4}{ - 1 + 4} = - \frac{4}{3} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex] - \frac{4}{3} \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the diagram above. Is AB congruent to DE? To find AC in problem 3, suppose you subtract -2 from 5. do you get the same result? Why?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Segments AB and De are not congruent since their lengths are not equal.

(b) Yes, you get the same result. In both cases you must take the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates giving you the same result no matter in which order you subtract the coordinates of the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To find the distance between any two points on the number line, take the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates of the points.

The coordinate of point P is p. The coordinate of point Q is q. PQ or QP, the distance between points P and Q, is:

PQ = QP = |p - q| = |q - p|

It does not make a difference in which order you find the diffeence of the coordinates.

Look at points A and B.

Point A has coordinate -2.

Point B has coordinate 3.

AB = |-2 - 3| = |-5| = 5

Now look at points D and E.

Point D has coordinate 10.

Point E has coordinate 14.

DE = |10 - 14| = |-4| = 4

AB = 5; DE = 4

Answer: The lengths of segments AB and DE are not equal, so the segments are not congruent.

(b)

The coordinate of point A is -2.

The coordinate of point C is 5.

AC = |-2 - 5| = |-7| = 7

If you subtract -2 from 5, and then take the absolute value, you get:

AC = |5 - (-2)| = |5 + 2| = |7| = 7

Again you get 7. The order in which you subtract the coordinates of the points does not affect the result since you take the absolute value of the difference in both cases.

AC =

Every 2.5 hours, a machine produces 150 baskets. What is the unit rate of this proportional relationship?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that every 2.5 hours, the machine produces 150 baskets

Goal: to express this production rate in number of baskets the machine can produce in 1 hour (i.e obtain the unit rate)

2.5 hours -------> machine produces 150 baskets

1 hour --------> machine produces 150 ÷ 2.5 = 60 baskets

hence the unit rate  of production is 60 baskets per hour

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even integers be 2n and 2n+2.

lesser integer = 2n

Greater integer = 2n+2

If twice the lesser of two integers is 4 less than two times the greater integer, this is expressed mathematically as;

2(less integer) = 2(greater integer) - 4

Substituting the given integers;

2(2n) = 2(2n+2)-4

2(2n) = 2[(2n+2)-2]

2n = 2n+2-2

2n = 2n

2 = 2

This two values cancels out and become 0 = 0. This equality shows that it is an identity pair and it is true for all even integers.

The endpoints of MN are located at M (-4, 4) and N (2,-2). What are the coordinates of the point that divides MN such that MP: PN is equal to 2: 1?

Answers

Given:

The endpoints of MN are located at M (-4, 4) and N (2,-2).

Point P divides the line segment MN such that MP: PN = 2: 1

To find:

The coordinates of point P.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a line segment in m:n, then coordinates of that point are

[tex]Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

Point P divides the line segment MN in 2:1. So,

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{2(2)+1(-4)}{2+1},\dfrac{2(-2)+1(4)}{2+1}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{4-4}{3},\dfrac{-4+4}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{0}{3},\dfrac{0}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=(0,0)[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P are (0,0).

The number of student numbers that are possible = 729,000,000 student numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of possible numbers that can take the place of the first two digits = 9 possible numbers each

The number of possible numbers that can take the place of the 3rd to the 9th digits = 10 possible numbers each

The number of possible numbers that can take the place of the 10th digits = 9 possible numbers each

An undefined term is a term that has been given no formal definition. In geometry, there are three undefined terms that form the basis for the subject. What are those three undefined terms? Do your best to define those terms.

Answers

Answer:

Point, Line, and Plane

Step-by-step explanation:

The three undefined terms that form the basis for the subject are a point, a line, and a plane. A point is basically like a dot, which most people should know. A line is a straight one dimensional figure that extends to infinity in both directions. A plane a flat 2 dimension figure, that extends to infinity in all directions. You can think of a plane as infinite lines put next to each other.

You can visualize a point, a line, and a plane in a coordinate grid. A point on the coordinate grid is any point, from (0, 0), the origin, to (2039, pi). A line on the coordinate grid is linear. It can be of any equation from y=x to y=238490/239x + 123. You can think of a plane as the entire coordinate grid.

Is 372 divisibile by 6? And why

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

its 62

Answer:

Yes 372 is divisible by 6.

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 6 on the left side and the dividend 372 on the right side like this:

           

Step 2:

The divisor (6) goes into the first digit of the dividend (3), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (6 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

       

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (3 - 0 = 3) and write the answer below.

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (7) like this:

Step 6:

The divisor (6) goes into the bottom number (37), 6 time(s). Therefore, put 6 on top:

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (6 x 6 = 36) and write that answer at the bottom:

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (37 - 36 = 1) and write the answer at the bottom.

Step 9:

Move down the last digit of the dividend (2) like this:

Step 10:

The divisor (6) goes into the bottom number (12), 2 time(s). Therefore put 2 on top:

Step 11:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (6 x 2 = 12) and write the answer at the bottom:

Step 12:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (12 - 12 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom.
