Question

what reflexive property and whats transitive property? help please?

Answer 1

reflexive property (keyword: reflect) means that something is equal to itself. i.e. a = a

transitive property (keyword: transition) means that if something is equal to another, and that is equal to some other thing, then they are all equal. ie a = b and b = c then a = c

Answer 2

thanks! :) love the username lol

Answer 3

reflexive property: x+7=7+x
transitive property: if a=b and b=c, then a=c

Answer 4

these are some examples so you can get the idea. Best of luck!!! :)

Answer 5

so what would x*y*z=y*x*z be?

Answer 6

well, i don't know the values of x, y, and z, but i know that the two answer would be equal to each other.

Answer 7

so transitive property?

Answer 8

however, that is a different property that you just wrote out.

Answer 9

let me give you a quick example of the transitive property
if 5+3=6+2, and 5+3=8, then 6+2=8

Answer 10

the choices are
a. distributve property
b. transitive property
c. associative property of mult.
d. communitive property of mult

Answer 11

and also what would ab=ab be?

Answer 12

that would the commutative property of multiplication for the above, and for the question that you just posted, ab=ab would be the reflexive property

Answer 13

thxs! mind helping for a few more?

Answer 14

sure, no problem :)

Answer 15

ok hold on might take a sec to type it out!

Answer 16

which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x+6=22 and arrives at the correct solution?
A. divide both sides by 6 and add 2. the solution would be x=8
b. add 6 to both sides and then divide by 2. solution would be x=6

Answer 17

c. subract 6 from both sides and then divide by 2. the solution is x=8
d. subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 22. solution would be x=16

Answer 18

hold on a sec. my computer is slow :)

Answer 19

ok :)

Answer 20

you would do C. let me demonstrate

Answer 21

2x+6=22
-6 -6
2x=16
/2 /2
x=8

Answer 22

i hope that makes sense! :P

Answer 23

oh ok! :) heres another one! :)
a car dealer offers you two deals on a car that costs $16,000. please calculate the monthly payment, given these two payment options the car dealer is offering.
payment one: you can finance the car for 60 months with no interest if you make 3,000 vdown payment

Answer 24

payment two is you can finance the car for 72 months ( 6 years) with 1% simple annual and no down payment. ( to calaculate simple annual interest use the formula intrest= princple *rates* time (in years). add the amount of interst to the rice of the car)

Answer 25

which monthly payment amount is lower? please explain how you arrived at the answer and show all work for each option

Answer 26

thats the question haha :)

Answer 27

oh god ok here i go

Answer 28

haha thank you :)

Answer 29

wait, will the 3,000 dollar down payment take away from the total balance of 16000?

Answer 30

which do u want me to repeat?

Answer 31

hold on i actually think i have it :)

Answer 32

so how much are the car payments without interest?

Answer 33

yaaay :)

Answer 34

you can finance the car for 60 months with no interest if you make a 3,000 down payment

Answer 35

or! you can finance the car for 75 months (6 years) with 1% simple annual intersest and no down payment

Answer 36

just by using deductive reasoning, it would be cheaper to finance the car for 60 months with the 3,000 dollar down payment

Answer 37

how did you work that out? sorry haha i hve to explain it

Answer 38

you calculate the interest with the formula and it comes out to 960 a month. however, because the payment streches to 6 years instead of 5 years in choice one, it ultimately become more expensive

Answer 39

in other words, it is cheaper to stick with option one

Answer 40

hahaha thank you so much :) i have sooooo much hw tonight :P

Answer 41

wow i bet im glad i could help

Answer 42

thank you so much!!!

Answer 43

would you care to send me a medal for all my trouble xD just click on the best response button next to ma name. Its been nice working with u :)

Answer 44

@ashleyjade

Answer 45

mind helping for 3 more? haha there shorter i promise! :)

Answer 46

ah ok and i also took care of your other question xD

Answer 47

1. solve for x: 3(x+1) = -2(x-1)-4

2. solve for x: -3(x+3) = -3(x+1)-5

3. create your own two step equation with all real numbers as the solution. show the steps to solving the equation to prove the solution all real nubers

Answer 48

i think we can set the record for longest question ever! Anyhow, lets solve this :)

Answer 49

hahahaha right :) thank you so much though!

Answer 50

3(x+1)=-2(x-1)-4
3x+3=-2x+2-4
3x+3=-2x-2
+2x-3 +2x-3
5x=-5
x=-1

Answer 51

that was the first one

Answer 52

i got that to! :) thank ya :)

Answer 53

can you repeat the second one? its so far up i cant see it lol :P

Answer 54

yea! -3(x+3) = -3(x+1) -5

Answer 55

awesome
-3(x+3)=-3(x+1)-5
-3x-9=-3x-3-5
-3x-9=-3x-8
+3x +9 +3x +9
0=1
undefined

Answer 56

got that to! ill repeat the last one if u need it!

Answer 57

do u?

Answer 58

*phew* that was hard work *coughcough* :)

Answer 59

hahaha thank u! :) last one? want me to repeat it?

Answer 60

sure

Answer 61

create your own two step equation with all real numbers as the solution. show the steps to solving the equation to prove the solution all real numbers.
