When solving an equation, Drew's first step is shown below. Which property justifies Drew's first step?

Original Equation: 5(x + -5) = 4
First Step: 5x+−25= 4

1. addition property of equality
2.division property of equality
3.associative property of multiplication
4.distributive property of multiplication over addition

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is the right answer

Answer 2

First step shows the "Distributive property of multiplication over addition"

What is distributive property of multiplication over addition ?

If we multiply a number by the sum of more than two, we use the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Here the equation given is : 5(x+-5) = 4 ,

and, the first step is 5x=-25 = 4

which is obtained by the distributive property of multiplication over addition where, 5 is being multiplied with x and -5 respectively.

Therefore, Distributive property of multiplication over addition is the answer.

The width of the fountain in Luke's drawing from the example is 2 cm. What is the width of the fountain in Isabella's scale drawing?

Answers

Answer:

2.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If Luke's scale for his drawing is 5m to 2cm, then it means that every 2cm on Luke's scale drawing represents 5m in real life. So since the width of the fountain is 2cm, the actual fountain width must be 5m. As established in the example, Isabella's scale factor from drawing to real life is 6/3=2, which means any measurement in cm on her drawing can simply be multiplied by 2 to obtain the real life measurement in m. So, to convert back the other way, from real-life to drawing, we just need to divide the value by 2 instead of multiply. So, if the real life value is 5m, then the width on her scale drawing should be 5/2 = 2.5cm.

Hope this helped!

Using proportions, it is found that:

The width of the fountain in Isabella's scale drawing is of 1.6 cm.

-----------------------------------

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

Isabella's scale is of 6m to 3cm, that is, 2m to 1cm.Luke' scale is of 5 m to 2 cm, that is, 2.5m to 1 cm.From this, it can be taken that a drawing of 250cm in Luke's scale is of 200 cm in Isabella's scale.What is the width of Isabella's drawing, considering that Luke's width is 2 cm?

200 cm - 250 cm

x cm - 2 cm

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]250x = 400[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{400}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.6[/tex]

The width of the fountain in Isabella's scale drawing is of 1.6 cm.

A bicyclist traveled with a speed of 12 km/h from a camping ground to a station, located 60 km away. Write a formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t, where s is the distance between the bicyclist and the station in km, t - the duration (time) of his travel in hours. Using the formula, find: s for t=3.5

Answers

Part a:
for t = 3.5 hours
velocity = distance / time
distance = velocity x time
distance = 12 x 3.5 = 42 km

Part b:
for s = 30 km
velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity
time = 30 / 12 = 2.5 hours
