4)
5) x=15
Reasons:
1) Given
2)
3)
4)
5)

Please match these up guys, here are the things to chose from, these reasons, have to match up right with the statments.

Answer 1

A. Reflexive Property
B. Symmetric Property
C. x=15
D. Transitive Property
E. Addition Property of Equality
F. Subtraction Property of Equality
G. 3x-12=33
H. Multiplication Property of Equality
I. Division Property of Equality
J. Substitution Property
K. Additive Identity
L. 3x=45
M. Multiplicative Identity
N. Commutative Property
O. 3x+0=45
P. Associative Property
Q. Distributive Property
R. Given
S.

Answer 2

s. 3(x-4)=33

Answer 3

can someone just please help me! I really need it:(

Answer 4

S1) S
S2) G
S3) O
S4) L
S5) C

those are the steps to isolate and find the value of x.

Answer 5

so those are the stetments right?

Answer 6

Yes
As for the reasons 2 to 5, it's been too many years since I've had to justify those steps, so I don't remember the exact names of each property. They should be in your notes

Answer 7

alright, could you give me the reasons?

Answer 8

that match those statments u just gve me above?

Answer 9

no, sorry, it's too far in my memory. You should check in your notes or manual, the definition of each property should be there and it'll help you associate the properties (reasons) with the statements

Answer 10

alrighty thanks:)

Answer 11

no problem!

Answer 12

We have the following


Statments:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5) x = 15
Reasons:
1) Given
2)
3)
4)
5)


So what is given here?

Answer 13

ie, what is the original problem?

Answer 14

I think that what you gave me should be flipped around like x=15 should be number five because I think its a whole problem.

Answer 15

The given is 3(x-4)=33 right?

Answer 16

good so that goes in statement 1) like this


Statments:
1) 3(x-4)=33
2)
3)
4)
5) x = 15
Reasons:
1) Given
2)
3)
4)
5)

Answer 17

We have 2 options, we can either divide or distribute, but we're forced to distribute because there is no option that has x-4 = 11 (which would indicate division)

Answer 18

so this means we then get


Statments:
1) 3(x-4)=33
2) 3x - 12 = 33
3)
4)
5) x = 15
Reasons:
1) Given
2) Distributive Property
3)
4)
5)

Answer 19

What's next?

Answer 20

fir statments wouldnt it be

3) 3x+0=45
4) 3x=45

right?

Answer 21

good

Answer 22

Statements:
1) 3(x-4)=33
2) 3x - 12 = 33
3) 3x + 0 = 45
4) 3x = 45
5) x = 15
Reasons:
1) Given
2) Distributive Property
3)
4)
5)

Answer 23

Now we just need 3 reasons for the last 3 statements

Answer 24

and then for reasons it would be

3) Subtraction Property of Equality
4)Additive Identity
5)Division Property of Equality

right?

Answer 25

close, #3 is wrong though

Answer 26

3x - 12 = 33

3x - 12+12 = 33+12 ... Add 12 to both sides using the additive property of equality

3x + 0 = 45

Answer 27

I ment Addition Property of Equality

Answer 28

sorry lol

Answer 29

you got it

Statements:
1) 3(x-4)=33
2) 3x - 12 = 33
3) 3x + 0 = 45
4) 3x = 45
5) x = 15
Reasons:
1) Given
2) Distributive Property
3) Addition Property of Equality
4) Additive Identity
5) Division Property of Equality

Answer 30

yay!!!!! lol

Answer 31

lol congrats

Answer 32

okay i have something that you could correct, will you check?

1) 5(x + 3) + 9 = 59 Given
2) 5x + 15 + 9 = 59 Distributive property
3) 5x + 24 = 59 additions property of equality
4) 5x + 0 = 35 subtraction property of equality
5) 5x = 35 addative identity
6) x = 7 division property of equality

r these right?

Answer 33

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 34

3 is wrong

Answer 35

everything else is correct though

Answer 36

what would three be?

Answer 37

Is there a choice that says "combine like terms"? That's the most accurate description of what is going on in #3

Answer 38

no

Answer 39

here are the choices

A. Reflexive Property
B. Symmetric Property
C. Transitive Property
D. Addition Property of Equality
E. Subtraction Property of Equality
F. Multiplication Property of Equality
G. Division Property of Equality
H. Substitution Property
I. Additive Identity
J. Multiplicative Identity
K. Commutative Property
L. Associative Property
M. Distributive Property
N. Given

Answer 40

well, I guess the substitution property fits because


you replace

15+9

with

24


and you can legally do this because 15+9 = 24

Answer 41

usually though, you'll just say "combine like terms" if you go from 15+9 to 24

Answer 42

yea but wouldnt that be 4?

Answer 43

4 is the subtraction (not substitution) property of equality

Answer 44

so you have that right

Answer 45

pooay so for three just put substitution in?

Answer 46

yeah that's what I would do given these options

Answer 47

personally, I'd say "combine like terms" since it fits better, but can't do that here

Answer 48

okay thanks so much!
