Answer: SSS
Proof:
In ΔMLQ and ΔNPQ,
MQ = NQ (given) S
Since Q is the midpoint of LP, by definition, LQ = QP (S)
LM = PN (given) S
∴ ΔMLQ ≡ ΔNPQ (SSS)
Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.
Money borrowed by Anthony from his friend for a sandwich and drink at lunch = $6.50
Money borrowed by Anthony from his sister to pay a library fine = $3.75
Hence, the equation to express Anthony's total debt that day will be =
Let T be the total debt , so the equations becomes,
6.50 + 3.75 = T
4⅚ ≥ x; subtract fifty-eight from both sides, divide by -12 from both sides, and you will have your answer.
NOTE: This is where you reverse your inequality symbol [dividing or multiplying by a negative].
