(a) Without solving the equation we can't determine whether its true or false.

(b) If x = 3

4x + 1 = 2x + 5

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

12 + 1 = 15 + 5

13 = 20

No, if x = 3, the equation will not be true.

4x - 2x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

This shows that x = 2 makes the equation true.

The length of a rectangle is 4x + 5 and the width is 8x - 4. what is the perimtleter?

Luda [366]

Hi there!

Since the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is length×2 + width × 2, we can follow this rule.

2 (4x + 5) + 2 (8x - 4)
= 8x + 10 + 16x - 8
= 24x + 2

So, the perimeter is 24x + 2.

Hope this helps!

Why is the distributive property appropriate for two-digit multiplication?

Rina8888 [55]

Here's an example:

$25\times93=(20+5)\times(90+3)$
$25\times93=20\times(90+3)+5\times(90+3)$
$25\times93=20\times90+20\times3+5\times90+5\times3$
$25\times93=1800+60+450+15$
$25\times93=2325$
