Jonas solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:
step 1: 8x = 56
step 2: x = 56(8)
step 3: x = 7
which statement best explains why step 2 is incorrect in jonas’s solution?
he did not subtract 8 from 56.
he did not multiply 56 by 8.
he did not add 8 to 56.
he did not divide 56 by 8.

Triangle abc and triangle deg are similar right triangles. which proportion can be used to show that the slope of ac is equal to the slope of dg? a) 4 − (−7) 0 − 4 = −1 − 10 4 − 8 b) −4 − (−7) 0 − 4 = 4 − 8 −1 − (−10) c) 0 − 4 −4 − (−7) = −1 − (−10) −4 − 8 d) 0 − 4 −4 − (−7) = −4 − 8 −1 − (−10)
