Zachary is solving the following equation. 3/4 (x-8)= 12 which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation multipliy both sides of the equation by 3/4 divide both sides of the equation by 4/3 distribute 3/4 over (x-8). distribute 4/3 over (x-8)

C.Distribute over (x-8).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Zachary is solving an equation

We have to find that which best first step to begin to simplify the equation.

If distribute over (x-8)

Distributive property:

Using this property

Then, we get

Using subtractive  property of equality

Hence, First  best step is distribute over (x-8) to begin to simplify the equation

C.Distribute over (x-8).

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
