Jason solved the following equation to find the value for x.


–8.5x – 3.5x = –78


x = 6.5


Describe how Jason can check his answer.

Answers

Answer 1
To check his answer, he would put substitute 6.5 for every x in the equation:

-8.75(6.5) - 3.5(6.5) = -78

-56.875 - 22.75 = -78

-79.625 = -78

Because this isn’t true, his answer is wrong
Answer 2

Sample answer:

Substitute the value for x into the original equation. Simplify using order of operations. If the statement is true, Jason’s solution for x is correct. If the statement is false, Jason’s solution for x is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation: (My answer)

1) Subtract 8.5 and 3.5, that equals 12.

[tex]8.5x - 3.5x = -78[/tex]

2) Multiply 78 and 12, that equals 6.5 .

[tex]\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{78}{12}[/tex]

3) Check your answer.

[tex]-8.5 (6.5) -3.5 (6.5) = -78[/tex]

Multiply 8.5 and 6.5, that equals 55.25. Next, multiply 3.5 and 6.5, that equals 22.75.Finally, you will need to subtract your answers. Subtract both 55.25 and 22.75.

Once you've done that, the answer you should get is 78.

78 is equal to 78, that is your final answer and it is correct.

Find the distance between (4, -1) and (-2, -1). Round answer to the nearest tenth. *

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute the points into the distance formula. There aren't decimals in this answer, so I don't think you need to round to the nearest tenth. You can also check by plotting these points down on a graph.

(4, -1) (-2, -1)

The y coordinates are the same, you just need to count from -2 to 4. There are 2 steps before 0 and 4 steps after 0. So 2 + 4 is 6.

Answer:  6

===========================================

Work Shown:

[tex]\text{Distance Formula}\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(4-(-2))^2 + (-1-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(4+2)^2 + (-1+1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{36}\\\\d = 6\\\\[/tex]

This value is exact. No rounding is needed.

-------------

A shortcut is to subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value

So either |x1-x2| = |4-(-2)| = |4+2| = |6| = 6

Or |x2-x1| = |-2-4| = |-6| = 6

This shortcut only works because the y coordinates the same for both points.

On a graph, you can plot the two points and count the spaces between them. You should count out 6 spaces.

The measures of ∠x and ∠y are equal. X is 3(m+2) and Y is 5m-58. Which is the value of m? A m=8 B m=26 C m=30 D m=32

Answers

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

M = 32

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(m+2)=5m−58

(3)(m)+(3)(2)=5m+−58(Distribute)

3m+6=5m+−58

3m+6=5m−58

Step 2: Subtract 5m from both sides.

3m+6−5m=5m−58−5m

−2m+6=−58

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−2m+6−6=−58−6

−2m=−64

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2m/−2=−64/−2

m=32

Step-by-step explanation:

1) =========================

14 + (-12) = 14 - 12 = 2Option C)

2) =========================

7 - (-7) = 7 + 7 = 14Option D)

3) =========================

8 + (-12) = 8 - 12 = - 4- 4 + 4 = 0Option A)

5) =========================

22 - 27 + 10 = 5Option B)

Answer:

1.) C

2.) C

3.) A

5.) B

Step by-step explanation:

1.) because 14 is positive and the opposite of 12 is -12. So 14+-12=2!

2.) to get to 7 from -7 you would have to take 7 units to get there.

3.)Given that a football player caught the ball and made a gain of 8 yards on the first play. On the next play the team lost 12 yards.we are to find the number of yards needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position.Let, x be the number of yards that the team had originally.On the next play, the team lost 12 yards, let 'k' be the number of yards  needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position.Thus, the number of yards needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position is 4.

5.) We have been given that on Monday morning the temperature was 38°F, but by the afternoon the temperature had risen 22°F. We are also told that on Tuesday morning the temperature had dropped 27°F since Monday afternoon.Since the temperature rose  by the Tuesday noon, so temperature by Tuesday noon will be 10 degrees greater than temperature by Tuesday morning.To find the number of degrees temperature is above or below 38°F on Tuesday at noon we will subtract 38°F from the temperature on Tuesday at noon. Since the difference between temperature is positive, therefore, the temperature on Tuesday at noon was 5 above .

In 2010, Joe bought 200 shares in the Nikon corporation for $22.07 per share. In 2016 he sold the shares for $15.11each.
a. What was Joe's capital loss?
b. Express Joe's capital loss as a percent, rounded to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer: a. $1392

b. 31.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What was Joe's capital loss?

Cost price = $22.07 × 200 = $4414

Selling price = $15.11 × 200 = $3022

Capital loss = $3022 - $4414

= -$1392

b. Express Joe's capital loss as a percent, rounded to the nearest percent.

= Capital loss/Cost price × 100

= 1392/4414 × 100

= 31.5%

Answer:

a. $1392

b. 31.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What was Joe's capital loss?

Cost price = $22.07 × 200 = $4414

Selling price = $15.11 × 200 = $3022

Capital loss = $3022 - $4414

= -$1392

b. Express Joe's capital loss as a percent, rounded to the nearest percent.

= Capital loss/Cost price × 100

= 1392/4414 × 100

= 31.5%

What property justifies step 4?
a. Commutative Property of Addition
c. Multiplication Property of Equality
b. Addition Property of Equality
d. Substitution

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Option A is correct. The property that justifies step 4 based on the calculation is the Commutative property of addition.

Equations are expressions separated by an equal sign.

Given the equation:

2(x-3) + 3x = 19

Expand the parenthesis using the distributive law

2x - 2(3) + 3x = 19

2x - 6 + 3x = 19

Collect the like terms

2x + 3x -6 = 19

Step 4

Since 2x+3x = 3x+2x = 5x (according to the commutative law), the expression becomes:

5x-6 = 19

Step 5

Add 6 to both sides

5x-6+6 = 19+6

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x = 5

Hence the property that justifies step 4 based on the calculation is the Commutative property of addition.
