Equality Properties

Multiplication Property of Equality Division Property of Equality Addition Property of Equality Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2x - 12 = -52

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 12 on both sides:                     2x = -40Divide 2 on both sides:                   x = -20

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                      2(-20) - 12 = -52Multiply:                                 -40 - 12 = -52Subtract:                                -52 = -52

Here we see that -52 does indeed equal -52.

∴ x = -20 is the solution to the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]2x - 12 = - 52 \\ 2x = - 52 + 12 \\ 2x = - 40 \\ \boxed{x = - 20}[/tex]

-20 is the right answer.

Bus A and Bus B leave the bus depot at 6 am.
Bus A takes 20 minutes to complete its route once and bus B takes 35 minutes to complete its route once.
If both buses continue to repeat their route, at what time will they be back at the bus depot together?


Assume the buses have no breaks in between routes.

Give your answer as a 12-hour clock time.

Answers

Answer:

therefore = 8: 20 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

The time will they back at the bus depot together is shown below:

The factors of 20 minutes and 35 minutes are 5, 4 and 5, 7

So here the LCM is 5

Now

= 5 ×  4 × 7

= 140 mins later

As the bus took off at 6 am

So,  

Hours       Mins

6               0

+ 2            20    (140 mins = 2 hrs 20 mins)

= 8            20      

therefore = 8: 20 a.m

To solve any question asking if a triangle is acute, obtuse, or right based on side lengths you have to follow this method.
Square all sides of the triangle. Then add the two shortest sides together. If the two shortest sides are bigger than the largest side then the triangle is acute. If the sum is equal then the triangle is a right triangle. And if the sum is less than the longest side then it’s obtuse. Hope this helps :).

Solve the system of equations.
7x + 6y = -1
--x + 2y = 3

Answers

Answer:

X=-1

Y=1

Solve using Elimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second equation by 7.

The two equations are now:

7x+6y=-1

-7x +14y=21

Combine the two equations

7x and -7x cancel each other out, 14y+6y is 20y, and 21 - 1 is 20.

The equation is now

20y=20, divide 20 on both sides to get Y=1.

Now, substitute 1 as Y in the second equation for -x+2(1)=3

-x+2=3, can be simplified, by subtracting 2 from both sides. Giving us

-x=1.

Divide both sides by -1 for X=-1

Final answers being X=-1, Y=1

Natalie needs to save $479.58 for a vacation. She saved $149.88, and earns $7.85 an hour working at the grocery store. How many hours must she work to meet her goals?

Answers

Answer:

42 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalie needs to save a total of $479.58

She already saved $149.98

The amount left to save is

= 479.58-149.98

= 329.7

If she earns 7.85 dollars working per hour then the number of hours she can work to get $329.7 can be calculated as follows

= 329.7 / 7.85

= 42

Hence Natalie will work for 42 hours to meet her goals

Solve the following equation:
2(-2x -4) + 6 = 5 - 3(x+1)
HELP ME PLEASE

Answers

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-2x - 4) + 6 = 5 - 3(x+1)

Distribute the numbers outside the parenthesis to the numbers inside the parenthesis. You should have this equation:

-4x - 8 + 6 = 5 - 3x -3

Combine like terms:

-4x - 2 = 2 - 3x

Add a positive 3x to both sides to have the variable x on one side only.

-4x - 2 = 2 - 3x

+3x            +3x

-x - 2 = 2

Add two to both sides to isolate the variable, x.

-x - 2 = 2

   +2   +2

-x = 4

Divide both sides by -1 to leave x by itself.  

-x = 4

-1    -1

x = -4

The final answer should be x = -4.

Sandy cut a 151-centimeter board into five pieces. The three shortest pieces are the same length and the two longer pieces are each three centimeters longer than a short piece. How long is each piece?

Answers

Answer: The short piece is 29.6 cm long and 32.6 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of short pieces , y = lengthof longer pieces.

y=x+3      (i)

As per given,        

3x+2y=151               (ii)

Substitute value of y from (i) in (ii), we get

[tex]3x+2(x+3)=151\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x+2x+3=151\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=148\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{148}{5}=29.6[/tex]

Put value of in (i), we get

y=29.6+3= 32.6

Hence, the short piece is 29.6 cm long and 32.6 cm long.
