How do I do these problems?

Answer:

12) x= 21

13) x = 1

14) x = 9

15) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are being asked to solve the given equations and check our work.

To check the work, we need to substitute the found value of x into the equation to check if it makes a true and correct statement.

12) Solve for x:

[tex]\sf 12)\ \dfrac{2}{3}x + 2 = 16\ \textsf{[subtract 2 from both sides]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x + 2 - 2 = 16 - 2\\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x = 14\ \textsf{[multiply both sides by 3]}\\\\\implies 3\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)x = 14(3)\\\\\implies 2x = 42\ \textsf{[divide both sides by 2]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{42}{2}\\\\\implies \boxed{\sf x = 21}[/tex]

Check your work:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{2}{3}x + 2 = 16\ \textsf{[substitute 21 for the value of x]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{3}(21) + 2 = 16\ \textsf{[multiply]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{42}{3} + 2 = 16\ \textsf{[divide]}\\\\\implies 14 + 2 = 16\ \textsf{[add]}\\\\\implies 16 = 16\ \checkmark \textsf{[true statement]}[/tex]

13) Solve for x:

[tex]\sf 13)\ \dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \textsf{[multiply both sides by 6 - LCM of 2, 3, and 6]}\\\\\implies 6\left(\dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{x}{3}\right) = 6\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)\ \textsf{[multiply]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{6x}{2} + \dfrac{6x}{3}\right) = \dfrac{30}{6}\ \textsf{[divide]}\\\\\implies 3x+2x=5\ \textsf{[combine like terms]}\\\\\implies 5x = 5\ \textsf{[divide both sides by 5]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}\\\\\implies \boxed{\sf x = 1}[/tex]

Check your work:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \textsf{[substitute 1 for the value of x]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \textsf{[rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 6]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{1\times3}{2\times3} + \dfrac{1\times2}{3\times2} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \textsf{[multiply]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{3}{6} + \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \textsf{[add]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{5}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}\ \checkmark \ \textsf{[true statement]}[/tex]

14) Solve for x:

[tex]\sf 14)\ \dfrac{x-1}{6} - \dfrac{x+1}{8} = \dfrac{1}{12}\ \textsf{[multiply both sides by 24 - LCM of 6, 8, and 24]}\\\\\implies 24\left(\dfrac{x-1}{6} - \dfrac{x+1}{8}\right) = 24\left(\dfrac{1}{12}\right)\ \textsf{[multiply]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{24x-24}{6}\right) - \left(\dfrac{24x+24}{8}\right) = \dfrac{24}{12}\ \textsf{[divide]}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\sf\\\implies (4x-4)-(3x+3)=2\ \textsf{[distribute the negative sign]}\\\\\implies (4x-4)+(-3x-3)=2\ \textsf{[combine like terms]}\\\\\implies x - 7 = 2\ \textsf{[add 7 to both sides]}\\\\\implies x - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7\\\\\implies \boxed{\sf x = 9}[/tex]

Check your work:

[tex]\sf 14)\ \dfrac{x-1}{6} - \dfrac{x+1}{8} = \dfrac{1}{12}\ \textsf{[substitute 9 for the value of x]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{9-1}{6} - \dfrac{9+1}{8} = \dfrac{1}{12}\ \textsf{[simplify]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{8}{6} - \dfrac{10}{8} = \dfrac{1}{12}\ \textsf{[rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 24]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{8\times4}{6\times4} - \dfrac{10\times3}{8\times3} = \dfrac{1\times2}{12\times2}\ \textsf{[simplify]}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\sf\\\implies \dfrac{32}{24}-\dfrac{30}{24}=\dfrac{2}{24}\ \textsf{[subtract]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{24}=\dfrac{2}{24}\ \textsf{[reduce]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \checkmark\ \textsf{[true statement]}[/tex]

15) Solve for x:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{x+1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[multiply both sides by 8 - LCM of 2, 4, and 8]}\\\\\implies 8\left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{x+1}{8}\right)=8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\textsf{[multiply]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{8}{4}+\dfrac{8x+8}{8}\right)=\dfrac{8}{2}\ \textsf{[divide]}\\\\\implies 2 + x + 1 = 4\ \textsf{[add]}\\\\\implies x + 3 = 4\ \textsf{[subtract 3 from both sides]}\\\\\implies x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3\\\\\implies \boxed{\sf x = 1}[/tex]

Check your work:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{x+1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[substitute 1 for the value of x]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1+1}{8}\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[simplify]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{2}{8}\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[reduce]}\\\\\implies \left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[add]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \textsf{[reduce]}\\\\\implies \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \checkmark\ \textsf{[true statement]}[/tex]

The Build-Your-Own-Sailboat booth that Althea visited gave her and hers friend the chance to make a sailboat model. Each boy chose a different quadrilateral for a sail. Althea chose a trapezoid, and her friend chose a parallelogram.

(a) Compose each shape into a rectangle to determine the area. The formula for area of a rectangle is A = lw . What is the area of each quadrilateral?

(b) Althea said that all quadrilaterals can be decomposed into triangles to find the area of the quadrilateral. Is this statement always true, sometimes true, or always false? Give two examples to support your answer.
