When attempting to do his/her homework, a student uses the addition property of equality to solve for a below. which statement best applies to the sample below? a + 3 = 9 a + 3 – 3 = 9 – 9 a = 0 a. the student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced. b. the student’s final answer does not have the variable a isolated. c. the use of the addition property of equality is sound, and the answer is correct. d. the student should have added 3 to the left side of the equation rather than subtracting.

The appropriate choice is ...

A. The student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced

The one rule I learned in my study of Algebra that makes it all make sense is "keep the equal sign sacred." That is, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. (Various teachers show various shortcuts that make it look like you're doing different things to the different sides of the equation. Don't be confused. If the operation can't be put in terms of doing the same thing to both sides, it doesn't work.)

Of course, you can always add 0 or multiply by 1 whenever and wherever you want.

For the above equation, the appropriate solution is

... a + 3 = 9

... a + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 . . . . . . addition property of equality

... a + 0 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .rules of arithmetic

... a = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . additive identity property of 0

you're missing vital information, add to it so we can solve this problem for you.

step-by-step explanation:

d) 30 units^2

area of rectangle = l × b

we know,

length = 10 unit

breadth = 3 unit

applying the formula,

= l × b

= 10 × 3

= 30 unit^2
