Consider the following equations and name the property of equality used to solve for the variable. A. x + 3.75 = 7

B. –3b = 18

C. StartFraction m Over 5 EndFraction = negative 25

D. m – 4 = 9

9514 1404 393

  A. subtraction

  B. division

  C. multiplication

  D. addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.

A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.

B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.

C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.

D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.

Additional comment

Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the addition property and multiplication property. Your grader may disagree.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
