5(3x − 4) = 1

Which of the following correctly shows the first two steps to solve this equation? (1 point)

Group of answer choices

Step 1: 8x + 1 = 1; Step 2: 8x = 0

Step 1: 8x − 9 = 1; Step 2: 8x = 10

Step 1: 15x − 20 = 1; Step 2: 15x = 21

Step 1: 15x − 4 = 1; Step 2: 15x = 5

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (C)  Step 1: 15x − 20 = 1; Step 2: 15x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to eliminate the parentheses, using the distributive property.

  5(3x − 4) = 1

  15x -20 = 1

The second step is to add 20 to both sides of the equation.

  15x = 21

This pair of steps is shown in the 3rd choice.

Comment on the answers

The distributive property seems to be applied incorrectly a lot of the time. Here, you can choose the correct answer by looking at the result of properly applying the distributive property: 5(3x-4) = 15x-20. Only the correct choice has this as the first step.

15 points and BRAINLIEST Alyssa invested $500 into an account. The value of the account after t years can be found using the function r(t) = 500(1.068). What is the percent annual rate of change
in the value of the account?

Answers

Answer:

annual rate: r = 0.068

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is r(t) = P(1+r)^t

Since the time is already in years we just have to solve for the rate

1 + r = 1.068

r = 0.068

The rate of change in the value of account is 0.068

What is rate of change?

'Rate of change is used to mathematically describe the percentage change in value over a defined period of time.'

According to the given problem,

Annual rate:

r = 0.068

The formula is r(t) = [tex]P( 1 + r )^{t}[/tex]

Therefore, solving for the rate

⇒ 1 + r = 1.068

⇒ r = 0.068

Héctor gastó en la entrada de cine una tercera parte del dinero con el que salió de casa. Con la cuarta parte del dinero compró una bolsa de palomitas y le sobraron 5 euros. ¿Con cuánto dinero salió de casa?

Answers

Answer:

Héctor salió de su casa con 12 euros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuando Héctor gastó en la entrada de cine una tercera parte del dinero con el que salió de casa, tenemos:

[tex] C = \frac{1}{3}x [/tex]    (1)

Cuando compró una bolsa de palomitas con la cuarta parte:

[tex] P = \frac{1}{4}x [/tex]    (2)                                  

Entonces al sobrarle 5 euros y relacionando las ecuaciones (1) y (2) con el monto inicial:

[tex] x - C - P = 5 [/tex]

[tex] x - \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{4}x = 5 [/tex]

[tex] x = 12 [/tex]

Por lo tanto, Héctor salió de su casa con 12 euros.

Two hikers are 77 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 10 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walks 3.3 mph faster than the other.

The speed of the slow hiker is_____ mph, and the speed of the fast hiker is______ mph.

Answers

Answer:The rate of the slower hiker is 2.2 mph and the rate of the faster hiker is 5.5 mph

Explanation:

One hiker walks 3.3 mph faster than the other.

Suppose, the speed of the slower hiker is  mph.

So, the speed of the faster hiker will be:  

Both hikers are walking toward each other and meet in 10 hours.

We know that,  

So, the distance walked by the slower hiker in 10 hours  miles and the distance walked by the faster hiker in 10 hours

miles.

Given that, they were 77 miles apart in the beginning. So the equation will be

What is the translation of the point to its image? A (−1, 4)→ A' (3, 3)

Answers

Answer:

We validate that the formula to determine the translation of the point to its image will be:

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A (−1, 4)→ A' (3, 3)

Here:

A(-1, 4) is the original pointA'(3, 3) is the image of A

We need to determine which translation operation brings the coordinates of the image A'(3, 3).

If we closely observe the coordinates of the image A' (3, 3), it is clear the image coordinates can be determined by adding 4 units to the x-coordinate and subtracting 1 unit to the y-coordinate.

Thue, the rule of the translation will be:

A(x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Let us check whether this translation rule validates the image coordinates.

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

Given that A(-1, 4), so

A (-1, 4) → A' (-1+4, 4-1) = A' (3, 3)

Therefore, we validate that the formula to determine the translation of the point to its image will be:

A (x, y) → A' (x+4, y-1)

For what value of k will the points (3,5) and (9,k) represent a proportional relationship?

Answers

Answer:

k = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For a proportional relationship to exist then for both points

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{k}{9}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

3k = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

k = 15

PLEASE HELP!! Determine whether the triangles are similar. If similar state how (AA~,SSS~, or SAS~), and write a similarity statement

Answers

Answer:

Yes they are similar because of SAS similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

the side lengths are proportional to each other, and the angle in the middle of the sides is the same size, therefore it has Side Angle Side (SAS) similarity.

ΔTSR ~ ΔFEG by the SAS Similarity Theorem

What is the SAS Similarity Theorem?

SAS Similarity Theorem states that two triangles with two pairs of proportionate sides and a pair of included angle are similar to each other.

In the image given, the two triangles have:

Two pairs of proportional sides - TS/FG = TR/FE = 3.A pair of congruent included angles - ∠T ≅ ∠F.

This means they are similar by the SAS Similarity Theorem.

Therefore, ΔTSR ~ ΔFEG by the SAS Similarity Theorem.

C. it should be this one

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A.  y = 2/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects the y-axis at -2, so eliminates choices B and D, which have y-intercepts of +3.

The line has a rise of 2 grid squares for a run of 3 grid squares, so has a slope of ...

  m = rise/run = 2/3 . . . . . eliminates choice C

The appropriate choice is the one with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -2:
