Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Given ⇒ 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Step 1 ⇒ 3x − 12 +

5x = 9x − 36 Step 2 ⇒ 3x + 5x − 12 = 9x − 36 Step 3 ⇒ 8x − 12 = 9x − 36 Step 4 ⇒ 8x − 8x − 12 = 9x − 8x − 36 Step 5 ⇒ 0 − 12 = x − 36 Step 6 ⇒ −12 = x − 36 Step 7 ⇒ −12 + 36 = x − 36 + 36 Step 8 ⇒ 24 = x + 0 Step 9 ⇒ 24 = x Which property yields Step 7?

In Step 6, the equation is ...

  -12 = x - 36

In step 7, the equation is ...

  -12 +36 = x -36 +36

Clearly, to get to step 7, 36 has been added to both sides of the equation.

Adding 36 to both sides of the equation is justified by ...

... C) Addition Property of Equality

_____

<em>More about the addition property of equality</em>

The addition property of equality says you can add the same value to both sides of an equation without changing the values of the variables that make the equation true. Here, x=24 makes the equation of step 6 true, and x=24 makes the equation of step 7 true.

I think there are 125 heart stickers and 375 star stickers. 20/4 = 5, so there are 5 heart stickers per sheet. there are 25 sheets in the package, 5 x 25 = 125. if the remaining stickers on a sheet are stars then there are 15 star stickers per sheet. 15 x 25 = 375.

Lenmana started studying how the number of branches on her tree grows over time. The number of branches increases by a factor of
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^{\frac{t}{3.5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.

To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.

N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)

This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.

Find the area of the triangle with the given measurements. Round the solution to the nearest hundredth if necessary. A = 46°, b
horrorfan [7]
We will use the law of cosines
<span>side a² = b² + c² -2bc • cos(A)
</span><span>side a² = 729 + 196 -2*27*14 * cos (46)
</span><span>side a² = 925 -(756 * 0.69466)
</span>side a² = <span><span>399.83704 </span>
side a = </span><span><span><span>19.995925585 </span> </span> </span>
We could round that to 20
a = 20 b = 27 c =14

We can calculate a triangle's area when we know all 3 sides by using Heron's Formula
<span>area = square root (s • (s - a) • (s - b) • (s - c))

where s is the semi-perimeter </span>
semi-perimeter<span> = (side a + side b + side c) ÷ 2</span>
s = (20 + 27 + 14) / 2
s = 30.5
Now we use Heron's Formula
area = square root (s • (s - a) • (s - b) • (s - c))
area = square root (30.5 • (<span>30.5 - 20) • (</span><span>30.5 - 27) • (</span><span>30.5 - 14))</span>
area = square root (30.5 • (10.5) • (3.5) • (<span>16.5))</span>
<span>area = square root (18494.4375)
</span> <span><span><span>area = 135.9942553934  </span> </span> </span>which rounds to
136 square feet

A school district has a student population of $6,734 students. If the maximum class size is 25 students. How many more teacher m
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

53 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, what we need to do here is to find how many teachers there need to be, first. If there are 6,734 students in the school district and if maximum class size is 25, then the number of teachers needed is:

6,734 / 25 = 269.36

Of course, it's obvious that we can't have a decimal number of teachers, so we need to find integer (269 or 270).

If we take 269 teachers and 25 students per class, we get:

269 • 25 = 6,725 students, which is not enough, since there are 6,734 students.

That means that the number of teachers needed is 270.

It is given that there are already 217 teachers, meaning that 270-217=53 teachers have to be supplemented.

sweet [91]

Answer:

999 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the drawn of the situation is shown

<u>Data</u>

  • ∠x = 56°
  • ∠y = 81°
  • distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,200 feet

From definition:

tan(∠x) = opposite/adjacent

tan(56°) = 1200/adjacent

adjacent to ∠x = 1200/tan(56°)

adjacent to ∠x = 809.41 ft

tan(∠y) = opposite/adjacent

tan(81°) = 1200/adjacent

adjacent to ∠y = 1200/tan(81°)

adjacent to ∠y = 190.06 ft

The distance from balloon A to balloon B is: 809.41 + 190.06 = 999.47 ≈ 999 ft
