Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36

Given ⇒ 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36
Step 1 ⇒ 3x − 12 + 5x = 9x − 36
Step 2 ⇒ 3x + 5x − 12 = 9x − 36
Step 3 ⇒ 8x − 12 = 9x − 36
Step 4 ⇒ 8x − 8x − 12 = 9x − 8x − 36
Step 5 ⇒ 0 − 12 = x − 36
Step 6 ⇒ −12 = x − 36
Step 7 ⇒ −12 + 36 = x − 36 + 36
Step 8 ⇒ 24 = x + 0
Step 9 ⇒ 24 = x

Which property yields Step 7?

The additive property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

36 is added to both sides of the equation.

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
