Answer:

<u>Option B</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

$x+\frac{1}{2} (6x-4) =6$

Step Work Justification

1 2x + 6x − 4 = 12

2 8x − 4 = 12

3 8x = 16

4 x = 2

Which of the following has all of the correct justifications Wyatt used to solve this equation?

A. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

B. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

C. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

D. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality

<u />

<u>The answer:</u>

Step Work Justification

multiply both sides by 2

1) 2x + 6x − 4 = 12 ⇒ {Multiplication property of equality}

{Combine like terms}

2) 8x − 4 = 12 ⇒

Adding 4 both sides

3) 8x = 16 ⇒ {Addition property of equality}

divide both sides by 8

4) x = 2 ⇒ {Division property of equality}

The answer is option B

(B) Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

The average body mass index of children 9 years old is 18.4 with a standard deviation of 4.5. If it is known that the distributi

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile ) = 22.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass index for a 9-year-old child = 18.4

Standard deviation = 4.5

Find:

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile )

Computation:

At 82nd percentile,

p-value = 0.82

p-value from Z table score = 0.9153

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile ) = Mass index for a 9-year-old child + p-value from Z table score(Standard deviation)

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile ) = 18.4 + 0.9153(4.5)

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile ) = 18.4 + 4.11

Mass index for a 9-year-old child (at 82nd percentile ) = 22.51

kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m∠1 = 62° and lines t and l intersect

Prove: m∠4 = 62°

Proof:

Statement Reason

m∠1 = 62° Given

m∠1 , m∠2 are supplementary t is a straight line hence linear pair.

m∠4 , m∠2 are supplementary r is a straight line hence linear pair.

Angle 2=180-62 = 118 Definition of supplementary angles

Angle 4 = 180-118 =62 -do-

Angle 1 = Angle 4 Equality property

Hence proved

Which expressions are equivalent to 2(b+3c)2(b+3c)2, left parenthesis, b, plus, 3, c, right parenthesis ?

lianna [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this expression 2(b+3c), its equivalent expression is derived by simply opening up the bracket as shown below;

Open the parenthesis by multiplying the constant outside the bracket with all the variables in parenthesis.

= 2(b+3c)

= 2(b)+ 2(3c)

= 2b +2*3*c

= 2b +6c

It can also be written as sum of b+3c in 2 places i.e (b+3c)+(b+3c) because multiplying the function b+3c by 2 means we are to add the function by itself in two places.

<em>Hence the equivalent expression are (b+3c)+(b+3c) and 2(b)+2(3c) or 2b+6c</em>

Please Help!!!! Please!!! A candlemaker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week. He

inna [77]

Answer:

$y=-50x^2+300x+2000$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week.

$Revenue=10\times 200=2000$

If he reduces the price by $1,then he sells 50 more candle sets each week.

$Revenue=(10-1)\times (200+50)=9\times 250=2250$

If he reduces the price by x $1,then he sells 50x more candle sets each week.

$R(x)=(10-x)\times (200+50x)$

$R(x)=10(200+50x)-x(200+50x)$

$R(x)=2000+500x-200x-50x^2$

$R(x)=-50x^2+300x+2000$

It can be written as

$y=-50x^2+300x+2000$

Therefore, the situation can be modeled by the equation $y=-50x^2+300x+2000$ .
